Can you just move the straps (unstitch them from the kilt, reposition them where you want them, and sew reattach them), or do you really need longer straps?

That won't work, piper - he needs to extend the length, not reduce it.
Dave - I've used extenders before. They do what they are supposed to do. I would pay the money and use them.
I could ask the question... How much is the kilt? $20 to make a $100 kilt wearable is a bargain... $20 on a $300 kilt, not so much so...
I use one one my first kilt... With a single strap it's easily hidden with a belt...
If you buy some make sure you get the right width... If you're only after an inch moving the buckles would be a good long term solution, or perhaps taking some of the extra from the reverse pleat might be possible (the one that I use the extender on has about 8-inches to spare, gotta love frugal scottish kilt makers planning for the future...)

Here's a couple photos. I hope this works. Not too sure on the value but my last kilt was fairly pricey for a 5yrd but its great, alas my wife doesn't think it wise to spend a night drinking in a $500 kilt

Hence picking up this one for a "steal"...extenders looking like a better, and better idea.
these extenders look less "bulky" and more "subtle" than typical straps.
Those look great. Hopefully I'll be receiving a set from Andy just for the price of shipping.
Ps. The price of the kilt is under $50 so it's kinda a no brainer. Can anyone date this garment by any chance.
