Kilt too big

**rmmcscott** · 16th October 07, 02:44 PM

I have a PV kilt from kiltmart.com, which is very nice (I'm actually wearing it right now), but wanted the Bruce kilt espeecially for Thanksgiving - we are a genealogy loving clan, so it would be great to be able to wear the family tartan to dinner.

Rmmscot,

You said your new kilt was 10 inches longer but I assume you mean the measurement along the top edge?

correct. I probably misled when I said longer, I was thinking horizontally 10" longer than my other kilt.

Ok, thanks. I just didn't want Grant to fret.

In the picture, it was about 2" above the navel...

I really just think it's too big, on the tightest setting on the straps I can slide the kilt on over my hips.

I don't know what to do...

Sending it back to Scotland I highly doubt that you'll get it back in time for Thankgiving (especially Canadian Thanksgiving which has already past). You do have your other kilt I'm sure that you can dress that up. Another option is SWK. If you order it today you'll have it yesterday (and you think I'm kidding). Decent kilts at a decent price, and you'll be up to a respectable three kilts. Sorry I couldn't be of more help or hope.

You've been a wonderful help! I've sent the company an e-mail asking if they have a smaller size in stock, so we'll see what happens.

Here is a caution for you. If this is a hurry job and you pay for fedex or
UPS you will pay duty and fees on the replacement as well as whatever you might have paid for the original screwup. Even though you send back the original, unless the invoice for the replacement is marked as a REPAIR, it will be proceessed as a new entry with duty owed. This happened to me last year and I fought to no avail. If you go by mail there's no guarantee you'll get it on time, but a better chance you won't pay duties.

There are only two things that are certain in life----Taxes and death.
