I thought I said be honest with yourself, but it's all good.

You might contact this seller to see if the straps can be made to reach around your current 42". It is sold pending funds and borderline to maybe fit you today, but it's a maybe...

Anyway, keep an eye on the for sale section. You might also place an add of your own in the "wanted" section. One advantage of having an inexpensive kilt in your hand is you can put the fool thing on, see if it is too long, too short or just right, and then have a real length measurement you believe in to give to your custom kiltmaker down the road.

This _might_ be a really good idea. If you intentionally buy one that just barely fits today it will fit you better and better as the rest of your wardrobe gets baggier and baggier. Just an idea. Best of luck to you sir.
