    Bonnie Heather Greene rebuilt my tank last year with a smaller waist and shorter length. She did a great job!

    Unfortunately, tkdog, the picture is no longer on the thread.

    Thank you all for the very complete information! I did end up getting the kilt and I'm hoping it will get to me this week. Some specifics about the kilt, it's a Hugh MacPherson custom made kilt, 16 oz (I think), 42" waist. I wear about a 39-40" waist, so if I'm lucky I can just tighten it down. But if I can't, I'm not totally lost with a needle and thread. I'm hoping there won't be too much "shower curtain" going on, but if there is, I won't mind doing a rebuild so much, since it's a quality made piece.

    Funny thing, I bought a vintage Hugh MacPherson kilt, but I knew it didn't fit me. I've been trying to sell it, unsuccessfully, but I have to laugh that I've gotten my hands on another one that will (hopefully) fit me. I wouldn't think there would be that many of these just floating around, but I guess you never know!

    I'll be sure to post some pictures when I get it.

    Link works, Photobucket picture within it doesn't show.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!
