brand new kilt that doesn't fit

[The Wizard of BC]

I really tried to put this nicely at first.


Your first thing, always, is to contact your kiltmaker. It should not matter if it was 10 mins or 10 months since you were measured. Get on the phone, write an email, get in your car.

If you just picked this kilt up then something is wrong. The kiltmaker should not have let you out their door in a kilt that is not right, that does not fit perfectly.

Talk to them. At the very least you owe it to them to tell them about the fit of this kilt. It is just common decency to do so. Not saying anything to them and going to a web forum asking for a work-around is a discourtesy.

I can tell you for a fact that if a customer of mine came on X Marks, and complained about the fit of a kilt that they just picked up, - and had not let me know that there was a problem - well, I'd be pretty upset that I was not even given a chance to make it right. It is my reputation on the line. It is my name. And to be 'outed' on a public forum without any chance of answering would make me very angry to say the least.
