Good. Then my new kilt won't have the third strap. I like being able to do a quick, symmetrical two-handed kilt-doffing. I sometimes try it with a 3-strapper and bang! it doesn't come off.

As to making the apron lie flatter, a well-constructed apron should lie properly w/o a strap. 2 strap kilts allow for a bit more freedom of movement, and isn't freedom what it's all about?
