Ah - I had visualised an almost complete reworking of the fell in order to repair the sewing of the pleats, renewing the lining and finding the extra inch required.

It could be that all the tinkering and tweeking maintaining the original kilt takes longer than a total overhaul, but with there being such a strong sentimental attachment, is is probably worth regarding it as the conservation of a treasured artifact rather than a repair.
