    A small point that I think you may not be aware of. The small buckle on the inside of the belt will be on your right side, not your left. A kilt belt goes on opposite from what you're probably used to. The buckle goes in your right hand and the loop in your left. I have no idea why. Some buckles don't have a right side up, so it's not obvious. Many do, though, any you'll realize the difference.

    I noticed that when I got my first belt because I got one of the clan crest buckles. I thought that the belt would have to go in "backwards" in order for the crest to be right side up.
