The issue is, that a belt through loops will hold the kilt up unevenly and eventually will stretch the material and give you a wavy sett. The belt, historically had nothing to do with keeping your kilt on. A well measured and constructed kilt will ride on your hips just fine. It's to hold up a dirk and is properly referred to as a "dirk belt" not a "kilt belt". Since dirks are way over the top and often illegal in a variety of situations, a dirk belt is unnecessary. Finally, you probably shouldn't be wearing a dirk belt anyway if you have on a vest or even a sweater.
How's that!
