Good news, bad news

I don't want to wear my tank before the wedding because I'd really like it to remain a bit of a special thing for that day, AND I don't want to risk anything bad happening to it before then. Just my luck I'd snag it on something or spill something on it .. happens to me all the time.

Just a suggestion, but instead of just selling it, why not see if anyone has a SW standard in a size 44 (any tartan) or other kilt they want to trade for your 46. Than you still have a kick around kilt without running the risk of ruining the traditional. Just a thought.

The problem is I don't know if that would do any good. The 44 waist would fit for sure, but the hips would be even smaller, and they're already a bit too small.

I'm afraid I'm doomed to a life of wearing custom made kilts. What a shame .. :rolleyes:

You know not to do up the hip strap as tight as possible, right? I had always heard that the hip strap only gets done up a wee bit and not all the way. Would that help?

Yeah I've tried it on various settings. Truthfully I kind of wish it wasn't there. I can see Matt's point about it causing more problems than it's worth.

I probably would take a trade .. we'll see how it goes.
