    Again, welcome.
    That's a nice fit of kilt. I've been wanting to get a kilt in that Scottish National for a while. This might just have pushed me into it.

    The reason it fits comfortably is that I've altered it. It was bought on eBay (not yet into buying expensive gear...maybe later). But as I find wearing kilts in the usual high on the abdomen way a bit strange still (too many years of wearing 'hipsters'!) I elected to shorten the length by a drastic 3". It took most of a day tacking it up (I'm no tailor), and re-pressing all the pleats. It still hangs respectably across the knee. There was also the usual tassled effect down the edge of the front which hung out way too far - I had to do away with it. But I'm pleased with the outcome.
