Kilt Belt (question)

**robbiethepiper** · 2nd April 15, 09:08 AM

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.

That's what happened to me as I gave it a try by using the belt outside of the straps. It kept riding up as I walked around too. Back to the belt straps for me then.

New here so a simple puzzling question for me. If the loops are not made for a wide belt then why are they made so wide?
Smaller loops would easily hold your sporran belt or chain.

Before I joined this website I had never heard of kilts having belt loops, or loops of any kind.

Just saying.

Well, there we are then...you never see them locally then Jock?

Not on local kilts, but now that I know that they exist I have seen the occasional visitors kilt with them. I can't say that I spend much time looking for them though. Say I was stood behind a kilted visitor in a shopping payout line in the summer, then I might notice.
