    It is obvious that you haven't visited a pool or beach on this side of the pond lately.

    no Martin is right... well with a bit of exaggeration and in thinking of males. nearly every year i get dragged to my parent's beach time share, plus i used to be on a swim-team, and i was recently at a water park at Disney World; and i am surprised at how long the male bathing-suit (or shorts) are getting. i remember when swim-trunks were just that trunks they had a one or two inch inseam. if the trend keeps going these "board shorts" are gonna become capris. it was interesting at Disney World to see the mix of international vacationing males in swim wear. the natives had long shorts for swimming, and the non-natives had on speedos.

    but to get back on topic, my belt and buckle (both of them) are very flush to my person. they've never pushed out any part of the PC jackets i've worn. in my humble (and possibly ignorant) opinion i think it looks odd to see a kilt without a belt and buckle regardless of jacket or not. further, the PC jacket reveals that part of the person so well, that a buckle should be there.

    EDIT: oh and i do prefer my kilts to end slightly above mid-knee.
