Rhino,

I have recently 'acquired' one of Howie's own kilts - one that was actually also worn by Alistair MacKenzie (of "Monarch of the Glen") on the 'Dressed to Kilt' fashion show catwalk in NYC). Interestingly, it is equipped with double straps and double buckles, which allow for a much greater variation in sizing than single fitments.

The arrangement is difficult to explain and I cannot offer photographs here, although I will try to get a couple in my personal album ASAP. Watch this space!
