Neat kilt hanging trick

[slohairt]

I'm still undecided about belt loops, some of my custom kilts have them and some don't. The same goes for the "off-the-rack" kilts.

Sometimes, if I know I will be moving around quite a bit, I like them. Other times I don't.

I do notice that after a long day of getting into and out of my truck, or of sitting and standing a lot, the belt loops help.

I don't agree that the belt loops mess up the hang of the kilt.

I see no difference.

After all the sporran is a pretty big drag too.

All-in-all, I think I like belt loops.

James, I think what most people mean is that a kilt belt will pull the pleats higher (thus altering the hang at the bottom of the pleats) when worn through the loops, while a sporran would pull down.

Also, it should be noted that some kilts have belt loops, and some have sporran loops (which aren't always the same thing). A good rule-of-thumb is, if the loops won't fit a belt, they're for the sporran only.

Jock, you may be thinking of military kilts, which never have loops of any kind.
