Eh, of course I am talking about the loops inside the waist line, and not the loops to thread the sporran strap through (!)
Hi Patrick,
I have found that what you do is fine for short-term storage but, if left for weeks, months or even years hanging from those 'ribbon' loops, with the waistband sagging, your kilt's pleats will twist and become seriously mishapen! As I understand it, those loops were originally supplied to military kilts so that, when it was folded in a certain way, the loops came together and the kilt could be hung by them from a single wall-hook. Again this is probably alright if the kilt is hanging like that just overnight, and is taken down to be worn each day! I would not subject my kilts to that 'torture' however!
