Wearing My Utilikilts Unsnapped

[Riverkilt]

So yesterday I'm kilting up for some chores in town and I'm putting on a Utilikilt Original. After I snapped the
waist snaps I started to snap those 6 V snaps. Then thought, "Why? - whats the point? Other kilts don't need
snaps there."

So, I didn't snap those six V snaps. Double checked I wouldn't expose anything. Lots of underaprons with the
Utilikilt. If nothing else it saved a bit of time and the sometimes contorted hand positions to get all six snaps
together.

Felt a little looser, a bit more comfy to me. But it was all a mind trick. About halfway through the chores,
sitting in the car, I snapped the other six V snaps. When I got out to finish the chores it didn't feel any different.

Didn't feel tighter or more restricted.

So, guess the main outcome of this experiment is that if I don't have time, or don't wanna, snap the 6 V snaps
I'll still be fine. Another choice.

I special ordered two AmeriKilts without snaps for the same choice.
IMHO the snaps are only there in a (typical for this day and age) excess of modesty legal caution.

Or maybe just for aesthetic value?

Very daring, Ron, but I'm sure Stevie must have had a bigger reason than decor in mind when he added those 6

My original dates back to before they had the waist snaps; for it the six snaps are mandatory.

[Riverkilt]

Aye, when they added the waist snaps leaving the six snaps undone became an option. Nothing risky at all...or was that the point?

Probably enough fabric in the Utilikilts under apron to make another kilt.

My first kilt was an original Utilikilt in olive. Mine doesn't have the waist snaps either and from excessive caution, I will snap the six. but now I'm wondering, because I usually wear it with a 2" belt anyway, do I really need to, or am I just being overcautious..
