Howdy, fellow clansman!

I bought an acrylic el-cheapo Blackwatch kilt at the last Highland Games, mainly for hiking and other activities where I didn't want to ruin an expensive wool kilt. And it was the usual 24" length, which is way too long for me.

I just took it to a local alterations shop and told the lady I wanted it taken up 2" with a blind hem. Got it back a week later, for a $15 charge, and it looks good. I think any alterations shop is capable of doing this... it's not any different than shortening ladies' skirts.
