I bought my first kilt from another company and it was possible to adjust 2 inches in the waist with the help of extra buttons, and their kilt did not have a paper reinforcement at the waist to keep it straight unlike yours it was possible to wash it in water. Delivery time is a joke, having to pay more to get the order in a week, it was not needed at allkilts.com. The only thing you were better at was the total price but now I see why and I will not order any thing more from you. The sporran that I ordered was the worst crap I ever seen. Cheap junk simply. Nor will I recommend you to my friends or acquaintances.
