I simply cringed when I read about basting stitches being ripped out by hand! 
I would advise them to treat it like a surgical operation!

I was careful last year when I told a local bartender he had his kilt on backward but he explained that while he knew it was, it was easier for him to wear it that way AND it held his bottle opener quite well with the straps facing the wrong way.
I know it's a Don't but he had a point.

Very carefully and only after you ensure the kilt fits properly.

My Burnetts & Struth kilt was basted with a loop stitch. All I had to do was identify the right end, pick it free, & pull gently. No sweat, no strain, no risk of damage.

I've always been jealous of folks who can do the loop stitch thing, like on a bag of feed or charcoal. They just pull gently and off it comes. I usually can't figure it out and end up just ripping the bag apart. Fortunately I have much more patience with my kilts

The girls in the bar don't share your opinion. 
His coworker wears a leather kilt he made himself and it looks preety darned good.
