    Steve thanks ! By the way the photo of you in your shop, where did you get that belt? I like that one! Anyway, if I am understanding its a common sense dictates when, where and for what occasion or activity I may be attending... again curious about the belt...and I think its not needed for a properly fitted kilt.. but if the mood fits..

    The belt is from a company in Ireland called Lee River. I used to sell a lot of them but since I retired I don't know of anyone carrying them. Sorry.

    Oddly enough I can't find them on the Lee River website - but they are available from their Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/listing/2273320...search_click=1

    That price is outrageous. I was paying about $30.00usd each. After paying shipping and import duties I could still retail them for half that.

    I'm not sure of that particular belt, but USA Kilts does stock Lee River - my wallet is from them.

    Stew, re: shoes, ghillie brogues were popularized by the kilt rental industry in the 70s. I like a nice pair of brown oxfords or derbies dressing up, and a nice pair of brown work boots if dressing down.
