    Is this something that any tailor should be able to do?

    I have one older kilt that's about 2" too small (I currently wear with extender straps), and two new ones that are just an inch or two large (I can wear, but on the last hole, and not quite as snug as I'd like).

    I've never used a tailor, and hesitate to walk into any random one with so much at stake.
