Kilt braces, or to use the non-British term, suspenders

[PiperPadre]

Following relocation of the straps to what is probably the full extend possible, I have a kilt that stays in place if I continually tug on it with it with the usual belt cinched up as tightly as doesn't look ridiculous, but what I long for is a set of braces that will do the job without a struggle. On rare occasions I've seen young members and cadets of kilted regiments, kids with no butts or hips, wearing them but have never ever found anything suitable on the civilian market. Are there any suggestions?

I've also seen pictures of soldiers in my uncle's regiment (Essex Scottish) in WW2 who had braces on their kilts. One of my kilts, from a more generous iteration of my past self, requires braces.

I'm pretty sure the references to the uniform of the New York Highlanders from the ACW included mention of Phillabegs worn with braces?

If I remember right Father Bill mentioned at one time about sewing the buttons to the inner-apron two for the left and two for the right, then sew two to the back, I put the bottons inside like I do with my pants. I did this to some of my kilts and used the button suspenders I use with my pants and shorts. Works for me. Thanks to Father Bill, almost no pulling the kilt up now.

To be honest, I'm not sure where I actually attached them without running upstairs, but yes, they're on the inside, and fairly to the side.
