a few questions

[James]

Certainly some members of the London Scottish were wearing braces with their kilts in the 1960's.

Possibly this was to accomodate the fact that the kilts would be issued and re-issued to different soldiers, and so not a perfect fit. Thus braces would enable the wearer to get the length right, without the necessity of altering the kilt itself.

In essence-why not?

well i hae a 46 waist, and ma kilt was made when i had a 48/50 .. lost some weight i guess, but it still fits fine with the belt, but add ma sporran and i get some slip.. i do like the looks of the braces, and why not indeed was my first thought, lol ... is there any historical evidence for braces with the kilt ..
anyway, it would be a matter of sewing on the proper buttons, no ?
cheers
