    Hello from Asia

ID:	29459Just a note to say Hi from Hong Kong.Just got my first kilt(Macgregor) and very proud to wear it with a Prince Charlie set up.However a question for the august members of this forum.Being a short /fat person find it difficult to get the length right as I believe the kilt is slightly too generous in the tailoring as the front apron seems to droop when wearing it after 10 mins and needs continual adjustment.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Cheers Nig

    I grew up in HK from '72-'87, back when it was British. Looking forward to returning in the future for a visit.

    Well met Nig. Glad to have you with us. As to the problem of the front apron drooping, some of our fuller waist gents wear braces (suspenders) with kilts when the fell (rear break of the pleats) of the kilt will not provide a countermeasure to the droop in front. There are other measures to remedy the issue but this is a quick fix. Hope others will help with different solutions.
