    ??? Kilt alterations near montreal / ottawa area ???

    Hi everyone

    Bought a few kilts that need p adjustments from simple ones as moving buckles to actually reducing from a 44" waist to a 37" waist, possibly heming as well in some cases

    Thanks in advance any assistance would be greatly appreciated

    Not sure what's closer, but my choices would be Burnett & Struth in Barrie Ontario or Keltoi in Kitchener. I don't know what might be closer to you if anything. Both of those are advertisers here.

    The Scottish and Irish Stores in Ottawa can get the job done. There are two locations, one in the East end (St. Laurent Blvd.) and the other in the West end (Robertson Road). I have had them do work on kilts for me.

    If you are near Cornwall, A+ sewing on Cumberland Street has a very good tailor who could do the work. He has cut away jackets and done a great job.

    Hope this helps.

    You should try X-Marker Stephan - he's in Ottawa, and he makes really nice kilts!
