I haven't actually had my hands on one of these Jakunen, but if it's made like a wool kilt then there's a pleat at the side of the apron that's designed to be let out if necessary. It increases the width by about four inches in all.
Might be worth a look ?

If it's not there (usually partially under the edge of the apron) then it might be possible to let out the first pleat anyway. You'd need to unpick any waistband and maybe add on a leather 'tab' (if you can't find matching fabic) at the end to cover any extra width. It won't make the waist wider since it'd still be buckled to fit at both sides anyway, it would just widen the fronts.
