so then what about making one bigger? I want one of those SWK Irish Saffron shadow tartan kilts, but they haven't had my size in months. They have a 50, and I'm a 52. Is that also just a simple matter of moving the buckles a couple inches?

No, actually, it doesn't work well for making a kilt bigger. If you move the buckles to make a kilt bigger, you can't move them much before the underapron starts to show, which makes it really obvious that the kilt is too small. If you move the buckles to make it smaller, the only indication is the lack of symmetry across the back of the pleats.

Or I could my butt in the gym and loose a few more inches...

Do you have a SWK and you are using that as a basis for your measurement? If not, I would be willing to bet that the 50 would fit you. I measured myself and ordered a 48 but it was too large and I ended up taking it in 2". The next one I was going to get a 46 but I inadvertently ordered a 44 and it fit quite nicely on the second hole.

I actually have 3 SWK's. The 52's fit me perfectly.
