Speaking of reworking a thrifty - has anybody tried putting a hip strap/buckle on one to make it look more like a "real" kilt?

Seems to me that the velcro lies under the belt, but with a hip strap and stitching down the pleats would be hard to tell it from the real thing for the uninitiated. Even a kiltmaker might be fooled from a distance.


That is so cool that you now have a "stunt double" for your Matt Newsome Leatherneck. Happy new kilt and Happy new kilt!
