    Aye, y'all!

    My name is Chuck Young and I'm new to the forum. I'm a member of Clan Young (WE RIDE!) and live in central Virginia. I'd like to start off with a question about altering a kilt...can the waistband be taken in? I'm smaller now than when I bought my kilt, and would rather not spend $$$$$ for a new one. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

    Cheers,
    Chuck

    Depending upon how much smaller the kilt needs to be, you may be able to get away with moving the straps.

    I'll let one of the kiltmakers/seamstresses weigh in here, but it might be helpful if you could give us and idea of how much smaller it needs to be.

    And welcome from Houston, Texas, by the way!
