I have about 5" adjustment required on existing kilts. A bit much for shifting buckles! Dang!
That said, I don't think any future adjustment will be 5" from my current size, especially if I buy an inch or so lower than my current measurement (and start by using the maximum setting on the kilt).
So if my poor brain is figuring this right: I'm around 39" now, I could buy 38" kilt which would probably work until 37" (given it allows +/- 1" typically). If I fall below 37" I can have the buckles brought in 2", which keeps it working until about 35". Neat.
If I was to end up losing that much weight I'd be so happy that I'd not feel the pain of additional kilt expenditures. Not a bad idea.
