    Welcome from south of your border in Georgia (near Atlanta, but don't hold that against me).

    First of all, congratulations on the pre-heart-attack waistline removal project. Take it from me, it's a lot less trouble and feels better than the post-heart-attack regimen.

    Matt Newsome's sight offers resizing services. Check out http://kilts.albanach.org/alterations.html.

    Another avenue you might not have considered is purchasing a less expensive kilt for the time being, say a heavy wool from StillWater Kilts. If you buy it about a size smaller than perfect for now, you'll be able to wear it through several inches of weight loss and then replace it with a nice, 8 yard custom kilt when you reach your goal weight.

    Hang in there, and welcome aboard. You know not what you do entering into this den of iniquity. Ha.

    This may be the sagest advice. I just received my first kilt a Stillwater wool. It cost me about $165 CDN with shipping and duty. They also have non-wool options for $45 less. Check them out at http://www.stillwaterkilts.com.
    Gets you kilted for our next kilt night. Oh, and welcome from Burlington.
