Thank you for your suggestion.

I have moved buckles on two other kilts with some success, but they began to affect the look of the kilt, in my opinion.

In this case I would have to decrease the waist from 42 inches to 38 inches. Just too much.
I was hoping to sell these two and then purchase another Isle of Skye made for my current size.

If the kilts don't sell in a few days, I will probably withdraw them from here and put them up on Ebay.
