Are you wearing a belt?

I was fascinated to learn that, according to the Art of Kiltmaking, belts are supposed to be purely ornamental and should have no part in keeping the kilt in place. Loops are "sporran belt" loops, not "waist belt" loops and over time you can damage your kilt (even a tank, perhaps most especially a tank) if you thread a "waist belt" through them and then apply stress, such as sitting.

Perhaps a minority opinion, or certainly not well-known, based on the photos, observation, and discussion of belt loop sizing on other kiltmaker's sites I've seen.
