Kilt Q's - worsted wool and 3/2 straps

[Panache]

Since Worsted wool has been covered by the experts, I shall offer a comment on straps.

If you like the look of a strap on your hip by all means order a kilt with three straps.

It really is only there for appearance's sake. A well made kilt only requires two.

In days of old military kilts were worn much higher up the rib cage and two straps were needed for a proper fit. Civilian kilts followed the fashion of the three straps even though they were worn lower.

I personally prefer two.

I also prefer two, but my new USA Kilt has three and it doesn't bother me. The third does seem superfluous, and I have to remember to fasten it.

It shouldn't be too difficult removing it, nerve wracking after you sixth coffee of the day but not difficult.

I like the three straps for the "look." I don't like wearing a belt with a kilt with straps, think it looks nicer and certainly feels more comfortable to my oversized gut.

I think the third strap helps the kilt look more like what folks expect a kilt to look like. But that's just my aged mind's logic.
