    Difference of opinion. My observation is that over time, it can cause the tartan to distort.

    Is that for the wool kilts only, or it applies to the PV kilts too?

    Here's two things said to me when I received my first kilt (tank) so simply take them as comment. Wear a belt to man-it-up a bit when that feels appropriate and use the belt loops for the sporran belt, unless the waist belt rides up more often that not then put the belt through.

    Just an observation - the 'correct' belt for day/casual wear has a prong buckle. The plate buckle is more properly worn over certain very formal jackets. Wear what you want but at least you should know.

    Bravo Robbie! From where I stand it is bad form to wear anything else other than a prong type buckle for general kilt day wear-----and informal evening wear too------I suspect that the plate buckle for day wear could be another kilt hire one style fits all type thing, or perhaps, a trans-atlantic innovation?

    So, would this one be out of the question?

    Normally my response would be if you like it wear it, in this case......

    I'm just in a silly mood. It's the wrong color. It wouldn't go with my kilt.
