Lost Weight....Now What to do??

I would move the buckle it is fairly easy, if you do a search I know you will find something on it, what you want to do is only move the buckle on the right side, or the over apron back, I have done it and it works great all it costs is about 5 mins time and some thread, good luck.

No... it wouldn't. The circumference of the kilt is determined by a single buckle (the one on the left is probably more important, since the buckle on the right just hold the apron up and snug). You have to match it on the other side.

Yup...I figgered wrong earlier. You'd have to move both sides back two inches to get a two inch reduction.

And since P1M is probably going to gig me again for not bragging enough...

I've gone from a 44" waist to a 36" waist, 254 lbs down to 188 - since November.

Needless to say, my kilt wardrobe has suffered immensely. At the moment, I have *one* that fits thanks to Stillwater.

Well ya know, I've never been wrong before!

Congrats on the weight loss. I've just dropped 35 pounds myself and expect to be down another 20 shortly. When I do, kilt ordering frenzy.

Sorry Kid, but to go from a 44 to a 42, you need to move the right side buckles 2" rearward on the fell, and the left side strap 2 " to the right on the under apron. Caradoc is correct. It's counter-intuitive, but there it is.

Gee, what a great problem to have! Hopefully I'll get to have the same problem after my kilt arrives.

31 lbs in one month? Holy monkey ....

I wonder this as well as I'm in the process of losing weight, with my goal about 50lbs lighter than I am currently. When I get there, my 2 kilts are going to be in need of some work. The Stillwater isn't really worthwhile - I'll just buy another 1 (or 2) when I get there .. but my tank is not something I'm just going to toss. Can a kilt be reworked for an 8-10" loss?
