Glad you've ordered the book, the author just happened to be the first response to your query BTW. In the mean time you might check out Stillwater kilts for a decent yet inexpensive kilt to tide you over during your weight loss. SWK seems to fit a little larger than so I suggest you order the size down from you. You'll have a good two inches adjustment in the buckles. At our age losing two inches is quite difficult especially with all the kilt (beer) nights.
