Waistcoat and belt

[Bugbear]

I just looked at my kilt, and I don't see any reason to put buttons on the outside apron. The underapron strap, stabilizer, and left buckle seem to be completing a circle that carries the tension. There is some tension between the left buckle, across the top apron, to the right strap and buckle, but it isn't much compared to the other.

That little bit of tension on the top apron should be enough to keep it in place with the underapron if the braces are attached to the underapron.

As far as I can tell, that is what MacMillan of Rathdown is saying to do, and if you put the buttons on the front side of the underapron, as he says, you will be able to brace upeasily before strapping on the top apron.
