Re-making a kilt
Due to health problems I've been advised by my doctor to loose some weight, and as my kilts are getting slack on the tightest fit already I fear I will soon have to think about alterations. I've read that a kiltmaker can 'rip down' a kilt and remake it and I wondered how drastic a process this would be, and would the end result be as good as a brand new kilt. For instance would the top apron be correctly centered and would there be visible creases where the original pleats had been pressed down. My best kilt is in the MacDonald of The Isles hunting tartan which is very similar to Mackenzie, and I wish now that I had had it pleated to the white stripe instead of to the sett. If I did have this kilt re-made I would like it in this style. Is it feasable
The Kilt is my delight !
