    Strap help!

    I am attending a wedding in two weeks that will be a kilted event...needless to say, I plan on adorning my kilt as well. The only problem is the leather straps are too short for a growing boy. The kilt was unfortunatley made with extremely short straps with no room for expansion. Is there an easy way to get new straps made and attached within the time allotted?

    The Strap extenders are a good sort term, quick fix.

    Any Kiltmaker can swap out your straps for you. Or if you have anyone who knows even a little of how to sew you can buy your own straps and do it yourself.

    Follow this link to order straps or contact Rocky at USA Kilts, Jerry at Stillwater or I, and we can sell you three straps.

    Totally, strap extenders. It's too late in the game to replace the straps. With the wedding so close, if something were to go wrong with the strap swap-out, you could find yourself without a kilt. Strap extenders are a sure bet in the short term.
