I just ordered my 4th kilt, this one a traditional from Rocky. I was explaining to him, that both of my two wool 4 yard casuals seem to be overly loose, enough so that I have to wear a kilt belt to hold them up. Noth have all of the buckles at the tightest settings. Both of them are size 48, and come from different kiltmakers. Rocky is making my new one at 47 inches. My question about the others is: Is there anything that someone as sewing machine illiterate as I can do to tighten then up an inch or so?. I know we have Jimmy and a lot of other experts here. Or if it would be beyond my meager abilities can anyone reccomend someone near me (Richmond Va area) that could do it. Near means 100 miles or less.
