    Sam Browns look great with kilts.
    No should strap, that's a separate piece.

    For a good deal check your local uniform supply store, serving police, security, etc...

    This may just be semantics, but without the shoulder strap I believe it's called a garrison belt. When you add the shoulder strap the garrison belt becomes a Sam Browne belt. I don't think anyone would have a problem with someone wearing a garrison belt, but beyond that I have to agree with David's comments. Unless it is part of an authorized uniform, a Sam Browne, when worn with civilian attire, is "over the top".
