Quote from: "Riley/MN"
Is there any decent way to "take in" a kilt? I'm down 42lbs and continuing... (23 more & I'll be happy)

(okay, I am happy anyway - 23 more lbs would make me happier!)

I don't think suspenders would look right....

BTW, "suspenders" are CORRECT.( you hide them under the vest, jacket sweater.) HC & current

But as to "refitting the kilt properly, Kermit is correct = best done by a Good kilt maker.

Here's a useful site for folks trying to locate PC/HC tartans for your clan/family. It can be searched a number of ways. One very useful feature is that it will DATE tartans. I know one of mine is totally inappropriate for early events, since it's registry happened post-furtrade. Interesting to see that some are dated early 18th century and some are dated late 19th century--or later. The "Tartan Ferret." Fun to noodle around with:
