My kilts to long and I want to shorten it. I need advice
OK, so I have a kilt that was supposed to be 24.5 inches long and I've measured it and it's 25 inches long. It's a new kilt, but it's been months since I received it from the kilt maker, and I was so happy to have it, and didn't check the length because I just would have never suspected that it wasn't right. OK, so much for my trusting nature........as of NOW, I'd like to have it shortened to 24 inches.
I've worn it about 4 times and it always felt "substantial, and kind of long". Today I decided to get it out and actually measure it, and sure enough it measured at a flat 25 inches.
My question is "do I hem, or do I contact a Kilt maker" for the work. If I send it to a kilt maker does any one have an idea as to the cost, and what's the turn around time? The kilt I'm talking about here is a 16 oz. 7 yard kilt.
I'm not really sure where to start on this deal. All help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Stan L.
