Repairing a kilt yourself?

[davidg]

hm i see what you mean

If you look at the kilt here from the back its one of the stitching above the pleats... i guess it does look invisible. Maybe a tailor would be better than i

What worries me is that this is a new kilt and the stitching should not have come loose so quickly. It could be because of poor workmanship and the stitches were not properly "locked" in place, or it could be to do with poor quality thread being used. Either way, the company who supplied you should really take responsibility and repair the kilt for you. Have you contacted them?

I finally caught on that I it an Ultimate SK. No elastic I would contact Seamus at SK they will correct it. seamus@sportkilt.com They have been great to work with for me. I havent had stitch problems yet with my stretchy waist ones and my flannel comfys get worn a lot. They use the normal two thread machine lock stitch.

Four I emailed Seamus at SK on this - his reply:

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for letting me know, and I would reply to him, but I forgot my XMarks password and had trouble trying to retrieve it. You are welcome to let him know that if he wants to mail it back to us, we will repair it and mail it back to him for free.

Regards,
