Stillwater Economy Disappointment

[Kent Frazier]

After my wife looked at the kilt, she said that it looked to her like the bottom edge was selvedged. She pointed out to me that the selvedge can be harder to see in darker fabrics.

After putting it on, she thought the size was about an inch too big. I ordered a 42 inch waist. She said she thought a 40 inch waist would be too small and a 41 would be perfect. As to the length, she thought it looked fine as it is. She said the bottom edge was hitting between the middle of my knee and the bottom of my knee. "Just a tiny bit."

Any advise on maybe adjusting the straps to take the waist in about an inch would be appreciated. The only Economy kilt in a size 40 is in the solid black, and I didn't want a solid color for my first kilt.

You might try, just to see, putting on a thick sweater to make up the difference. If it works, it might be possible to wear a cloth padding of some sort as an undergarment to take up the slak. Only if it looks ok though. It might not be a bad thing to have that slack for weight gain also. Sounded like everything else was ok. Good luck.
