It's a fine kilt, and I hate to let it go, but failing getting it tailored, it's likely off to sale.Before I do that -- What are your experiences with getting a kilt tailored?

Don't sell your kilt, Chuck. You've probably got a large investment sitting there just in worsted wool. By puting it up for sale, I'd be very surprised if you got your money out of it. Definitely consult with an experienced kiltmaker about having it re-built to your new measurements. It will cost a bit of $$ but certainly less than having a new one built from scratch with new wool.
