Are you measuring correctly? Run the tape at the navel. You m ight be surprised
That's a point well taken...I've been buying 34 waist jeans for quite some time and 36 inch kilts are what I measurred and buy and they fit quite nicely. I know that it's only two inches in my case but it could be a significant difference.

Sure, rub it in! Some of us manly men deal with a much greater disparity between p%$^s size and kilt size. Of course, to the ladies, that more than 2 inches might be welcome!

I'm not touching that last remark with a two inch cattle prod
Yeah, the problem is coming because from the perspective of many kiltmakers you are still in a young persons kilt and not yet in the range of sizes that most adult make kilt wearers call home.
I would not recommend moving buckles to take in a full 4 inches. That seems to be a bit too much.
You might try contacting a kilt rental place that rents children's kilts. They sometimes sell off old rental stock and you might be able to find a bargain that way.
And don't feel bad about being your size. As I'm getting my groomsmen sized for my wedding, a 34 year old groomsmen who just happens to be in great shape and rather short is having to get a children's kilt for his rental!
If you order this kilt, it will be (custom) made to the measurements you give them. This website is run by the same company that runs the scottishkilts.net website. Several members have ordered kilts from this company and have been happy with them.
Poly viscose is machine washable. Hunting Stewart is a good looking generic tartan.
I have no experience in trying to modify a kilt for a smaller waist but the other thing you might want to think about is kilt length. I'm 5'10" and find the stillwater kilts to be a couple inches too long. Although I have no idea how tall you are at 14, I suspect that a full-size kilt may be too long as well. Good luck kilt hunting.
