[Dick Ackerman]

Great find Ron. I just ordered a set. Now I can resurrect a couple of my traditional kilts that have be hanging on the too small side of my closet. Thanks for the heads up.

I have a set of extenders but for the opposite reason. I'm losing weight so the last three kilt I bought are 2" smaller than my current waist size. The extenders allow me to wear them now despite being too large for them.

Ron, thanks for bringing these to my attention. I just ordered a set. I'm losing weight and bought a WPG MacKenzie military box pleat kilt on ebay, but it's a bit too small. I'm intrigued by what Tetley said about using them to wear kilts that are too big too (I have a few of those), but I'm not sure how that would work.

How do they work in this instance?

I'm too big for the kilt not the other way round. The effect is the same in that in all cases the kilt is too small and the extenders allow the kilt to be worn, only in my case the kilt are deliberately too small since I'm losing weight not gaining it.

I think I may have made this suggestion before: For the Kilts that are too large, get a pr of clip-on braces (suspenders to the Yanks). Young dancers wear them, (they ain't got hips, yet), and I seem to recall a picture of kilted soldiers without jackets (they were on a work detail) and they were also wearing braces.

I don't think I'd enjoy the constant feeling of suspense.

Though, hang on, I guess it would feel rather bracing...
