Think about what jackets you might wear with the utility kilt - are they cut like a formal Prince Charlie Coatee? Or more like a jacket one might wear with jeans, or trousers?
Up to you, of course. If the kilt is comfortable at or above your navel, and the belt helps to firm up the gut a bit, more power to you.
Thank you for the feedback!
In reviewing my own habits, I actually usually wear oversized jeans with suspenders at about 2 or 3 inches above my naval as it is. As for jackets and coats, I already have regular coats that fit over my jeans, belt, and EDC at that height without any trouble.
So it sounds like I am comfortable wearing the utility kilt at the height that most would wear their traditional kilt. I didn't understand that before but It sounds good to me.
Thanks
