Hello, I've got a quick question for those perhaps a bit more handy at these kind of modifications than myself.
When I ordered my first (and so far, only) kilt I assumed that my true waist measurement would provide a nice fit, but upon receiving a 42" waist kilt, I found that I had to pull the straps all the way to the first hole to buckle them up tight.

It's not a massive problem, but a slight inconvenience that necessitates belt wearing at all times. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to take the waist in by a few inches so I can wear it without making new holes in the straps?

I was thinking of folding over and stitching somewhere along it, or maybe moving the buckles, but this is all quite beyond me.
