After waiting for a week - I didn't realize they only shipped on Friday - I received my kilts from the eBay guy today. I ordered 2 size 40s. I opened one and tried it on -it's a bit loose, but it will work. I carefully removed the thread and started looking it over. That's when I saw the size - 42. Yikes! My waist is a 39 and should be shrinking soon since I'm now back to my work out program. I've emailed the store and hopefully they won't have any problems correcting the error. I told them I would keep the one that I had already removed the thread from since it can't really be sold as new. It definitely needs a good ironing and I now realize why there were some complaints about the straps. Overall, it doesn't fit too bad. The looseness makes me nervous though. Now, here's where I show my ignorance. There are two nylon loops attached to the inside. What are these for? They are much too far apart to be used for hanging on a normal hanger, not to mention center of gravity problems.
