What is the "proper" width for a kilt belt?

I think it all depends on size and perspective, the larger you are the thicker the belt should be. I wear a casual belt that is 2" and my dress belt is 2.5".

I agree. For larger guys, a wider belt looks more properly proportionate. A narrower belt makes one look larger. And vice versa for smaller guys.

It's a compensation thing. I wear a belt that is 1"

. I don't think that there are really hard a and fast rules reguarding belts. Dressy = larger, casual = smaller. Even our Hamish recommends thinner belts at times. As for the fear of showing up on the kilt DON'T list, don't worry been there they didn't take away any of my kilts as punishment.
