    I once inquired about taking a kilt with a 51" waist down to a 46". I was told that if I did, the pleats would stretch around to the front and I was better off selling my kilt and getting a new one that fits. YMMV.

    Remember that the pleats on the right vanish under the apron, so when reducing 51 to 46 inches by moving the buckles you don't get 2 and 1/2 inches more pleat showing each side, the difference is half that, just over an inch, hardly something which would be noticed in passing.
