Alteration question for kiltmakers.
Hi-
I recently ordered a pair of made to measure kilts from a highly reputable UK purveyor. One of the kilts was made too small, an error which the purveyor recognized when I sent the gaments back for their inspection. Here is what I was sent:
"Just to let you know that the kilts have arrived and our kilt maker has had a look at them. He checked the waist measurement and it is measuring 33" to the middle hole on the Armagh kilt and 32" on the [other kilt]. This has obviously been our mistake and we will rectify the problem by letting out through the straps and buckles the 1" required. I apologise for the inconvenience this has caused."
Is this an acceptable fix? I have concerns that it might affect adversely the proportions of the kilt. Also, if I should need to have the kilt let out in the future will I be out of luck? I have asked to have the kilt remade to the original measurements but do not want to be unreasonable.
Any input appreciated.
