kilt belt (velcro)

[Chas]

Thanks for the expert advice. Once I'm sure I have the buckle in the correct position I'll wetting, pounding and clamping the belt. These belts are a "one size fits all" sort which is probably the reason thickness couldn't be decreased where the buckle attaches.

Actually they are not 'one size fits all'. They are made in S M L and probably XL for the men of substance. You might have one that is too large. This is normally not a problem, unless you have to fold too much back. There is no need for the velcro to go through the loop on the back of the buckle - if it does, cut it off.

I have found wetting the leather to be the best, but I used a large stack of books, rather than pounding or clamping.

Regards
