Strap Issues with Modern Utility Style Kilts

[seanachie]

I have an RKilt in hemp from Robert Pel, and he uses rivets. Yes you pay a little more but it is a high quality kilt and I pinched pennies a little longer but definitely have no regrets.

Get to a leather store, eg Tandy, buy some pre cut leather strapping, punch small holes in the leather where you are going to sew then onto your kilt and then punch holes for the buckle tongue to go through, eew then onto the kilt and your away

Those straps on the Asian utility kilts don't serve any purpose. Cut them off and take off the buckles. All should be fine

I'm going to agree with Robert that the straps serve no real purpose and could be cut off.

If, however, you want straps for the look, then of course you can change them out for leather.
