Aye,

Thanks for the link! That was a great blog entry and explained a lot.

I'm definitely not one of those flat waisted types. In fact, my behind is kind big so even with the waist strap at the middle hole or smaller, my hip strap is always at the very last hole before I run out of leather. If I don't, I get a really ugly pull across the front.

Ahh, now it's time to get out the old sewing kit and take this third strap off my new Stillwater.

And I'd better tell Rocky to not put a hip strap on the kilts he's making me.
