Moving the buckles-TAKE NOTE

[Barb T]

I agree with Wally that it's likely to be a function of tartan weight, but you might also try a couple of other things if you're going to wear the kilt much. Try changing the length of the sporran straps so that the sporran hangs at a slightly different height or tightness. That might help. Also, try changing the tightness of the the hip buckle (if the kilt has one). I suspect that loosening that strap might help (it shouldn't be tight anyway).

Sorry for not getting back to finish my post, but I think the subject was well discussed. I think this is one of those smal matters that can be of great importance. Keep calm, kilt on.......

Altering the waist size of kilts is yet another reason why it's nice to have a kilt without belt loops, and pleated to the line (because you can move the belt loops but if the kilt is pleated to the tartan you end up with the sett off-centre).

Pipe band kilts get altered the most and were I getting kilts for a band they would be pleated to the line and without loops.

I lost 45 pounds a couple years ago and I had little trouble moving the buckle on my kilt. Singular because I only moved one buckle, the one on the wearer's right. On the other side I moved the strap but left the buckle where it was.
