Fortunately an email to Sportkilt resulted in a delightful request to send it back and they would alter it for me a few inches on the straps as well as the inside Velcro hopefully. This will make it fit snug like it should be. Granted. it is not going to fit like a made to order kilt like the one I'm having done in Scotland by House of Edgar. But the SK is a delight and I applaud them for the customer service. I should get it back by next weekend. I'll let all know how things went.
