Now, I think it was McClef that has a kilt made by the CCC and they used straps that had knotwork patterns on them. If the straps had that little bit of extra... well the straps looked awesome. I would get 3 just because of the little extra decoration. But for plain straps, I'd go with 2 if I had the choice.
Found the picture of the straps. I'd say if you can get straps like these, get three!

Well yes the Caledonia was made by Celtic Craft Centre and they gave me the option of 2 or 3 straps (at no additional cost I might add). I know the third strap isn't strictly necessary but guess it's a personal preference.
But yes as you say the patterning does give it that little extra!
