Seawolf regular old line 24 or 20 size snaps can be used on the heavyer fabrics or through the velcro. If you use a kilt belt it will cover the snaps. On tucks, if you are meaning the kilt is getting too large, if there are no straps then you can just snap or move the bottom velcro or sew on another piece at the needed position. I really dosent matter that the apron may be covering a pleat some. With a belt the velcro feels better to the waist than with snaps under it near the hip bones.
Wide velcro is available at sewing supply stores and many department stores in the sewing section.
