Please Recommend Me a North American Kilt Maker for Alterations

[Ron Abbott]

it does just look as if the buckles need moved. There is certainly no big gap (or any gap) between the apron and the pleats.

If you could give us your location we could help better.

I had a kilt altered by

The alteration was fast and not too expensive. You might give her a call.

I've recently purchased three casual kilts from Burnett's and Struth, each to be made to the same measurements, yet each fits differently. Each of the kilts was basted differently, so I'm assuming three different makers worked on the kilts. Seems not all inches are quite the same.

One of my kilts is on it's way to Bonnie Heather, based on a good review of her alterations skills here, but I'm sure there are others. Over the years I've noted several kilt makers who specifically mention alterations and repairs on their web sites.

Thank you for all the replies. Really appreciate it.

I'm in Warrenton, VA (Northern Virginia). I'll update my profile with it.

Thanks,

Bonnie Heather Greene just did a wonderful rebuild for me and very reasonable. You aren't asking for that big of a job. Also hello from Nokesville.

Welcome to XMarks... My nephew used to live in Warrentown, now he lives in Marshall. It is a lovely area -- I have always appreciated the landscape of Northern Virginia.

Good luck with getting the alterations done on your kilt.

I agree that it looks like the kilt is the right size but the buckles are not in the right place. So, this is a simple fix. Moving buckles and straps is an easy thing to do for anyone who is remotely handy with a needle. No need to ship your kilt off to a kiltmaker. Here are the instructions:
