Has anyone ever considered using side release buckles (called parachute buckles in some fabric stores) for the closure system on a kilt? It seems like it would be easier to close and open one handed. Then just pull the strap through to desired tightness.

I could certainly see that on a "contemporary"/nontraditional kilt. It would be more precisely adjustable than the traditional buckle with holed strap arrangement.

I've done side release buckles on my kilt. Not as easy as one would think. There is 3 prongs that you have to line up in order for it to latch. not too easy to do two handed when it's at your rear side, might be easier to buckle when you can see dtraight down but then twisting the kilt around into place one handed probably isn't the easiest solution. Also consider the webbing used. Mine is, I believe polypropylene, and it does slip (loosen) quite easily.

Perhaps Velcro could be the best option.
