It sounds as if you aren't going to be happy with the kilt which means you probably won't end up wearing it much. Why keep it when you can get something you will be happy with?
Normally, I would agree with you. However, the next smaller size in Black Watch (what I ordered) is 36 inches, that is 6 inches smaller than what I ordered. The only kilt available in 40 inches is in solid black. I don't want a solid for my first kilt.
