    This kilt needs to be shortened and let-out. the 'shortening' part was easy-peasy but letting the kilt out by some eight inches posed a bit of a challenge.

    Very interesting how it’s done. I would like to know if the opposite can be done economically, i.e., reduce the waist size; I bought a kilt thinking it was for my 34-36 waist but it turned out to be 54-56!!

      Yes, absolutely! see my other video(s) where I describe how one may either reduce the size of the aprons (to no less than 1/3rd of the total or it starts to look like a 'skirt') - best not to remove any cloth though, hide the extra cloth by making the 'apron pleats' and 'end flap' (I just made that term up) on each side deeper.

    A clever solution indeed. However, your table-thumping skill seems lessened of late. Your best was at 4:33.
    Forgive me if you mentioned it, but what is the name of this kilt's tartan? Thank you.

      sleepyleep It looks like some variation of the Crawford tartan I think.

      haha. I'd forgotten (or maybe I'd learned to avoid) tub-thumping while I spoke.... It's the Chisholm tartan, in the 'Reproduction' (or 'weathered') palette.
