So one other thing to entertain, but wanted your opinion on it. I am at my typical weight now. The straps/buckles are tight as they can go, but I there is extra room for another hole to be punched. Since the kilt is brand new, I'm kind of against it at the moment (maybe when I've had it a while). Would rather try a belt in the meanwhile. Has anyone else punched a hole or are there any problems you can run into doing that (stressing the leather?)?

Tobus, good catch on the shirt. Haha!
