    The reason I've been leaving them buckled and stepping into them is that I am fat. Its dang hard to see over my love handles to hitch up the straps. And, my kilts with straps come from four different kiltmakers at various weights over the past few years so there's no common strap hole on all kilts. Instead of having to remember each kilt, I just left them buckled.

    Guess its gonna be another kilted learning experience to practice strapping on these kilts rather than stepping into them. Have some experience since I strap them on when they first arrive unbuckled.

    I have read somewhere that kilts should be rolled and not hung so the pleats won't splay.

    The only kilts that roll well are those with approximately equal hip and waist measurements.
