    Have you checked with the Celtic shop in Colorado City? Just a thought.

    There is a tailor in Denver that is familiar with Kilts in Denver I-25 and Hampden, by King Soopers.

    Thanks for the suggestion GMAN. If I can't get it done locally, I'll go where I need to go to get it done.

    Welcome from Michigan I don't know if you have ever worn a kilt before, but if not, make sure you are wearing it high enough. The top of the kilt should be above your belly button. Not down on your hips like pants.

    I recently had a kilt that was reduced from a 38" to a 36". It was done by the kilt maker, so I'm not sure if a competent tailor could do this adequately or not. The solution for me was to move the two side buckles, right side, and the single strap on the left. It fits great...can't even tell it was a 38." See the thread: "Help,Tightening up a Kilt." Barb Tewksbury chimes in.

    As for the length, I haven't a clue there. Good luck!

    Have you tried Colleen at KiltRental.Com? I believe that she is in the Springs.

    Never heard of the place. I'll check it out.
    Thanks gordontaos.
    By the way, as many times as I've been to New Mexico I've never made it to Taos.
    I'm hoping to get there this year when I visit my friends in Rociada, Las Vegas NM.

    Thanks Sammac.
    I wore a kilt back in my 20's and not again until last year. I'm wearing it higher than normal because it is so long. As soon as I can get it shortened I'll be able to wear it at the correct waist height.
    Thanks for your input. Regards
