NB: my natural waist is 36"
I just got made to measure tank in today. I bought an inexpensive kilt some time ago so I could get the length measurement correct (which it is, praise God), the inexpensive one is the kilt on which I moved the buckles three inches.
Having moved the both buckles three inches I was (and am) having trouble with the sporran making the front apron on that altered kilt all wonky. Anytime I stand up or walk any significant distance I have to tug the front apron back flat, it gets balled up under the sporran strap on both sides of the sporran. Manageable, to be sure; but a pain in the neck I am relieved to find is not an issue with my properly fitted kilt.
