How important is a belt?

[Jordan]

Thanks to all for the pros/cons of to thread or not to thread, the belt through the loops...I for one have found all my custom fitted kilts keep sliding south without one. I like the visual break too.

Is your kilt being worn tight enough?

I like to wear a belt just so I have a break between kilt and well what ever's up top, the exception being a waistcoat. But you shouldn't need one to keep your kilt up especially if it's made for you.

I don't have a photo to hand to show but I don't wear one of those big waist plates either they always look a little tacky to me.
