But add the braces and even without all that other stuff it looks less like a skirt and more like a man's garment.

I may try the button arrangement that MacMillan described later, if only because it is a bit tricky to button up although I wear button-on braces 24 hours a day anyway...kilt or no kilt...so it's no big deal buttoning them for me.

And the bonus is that I can wear my Scotland's National with my waistcoat for Burns Night!
How about pictures of the button placement and wearing the braces with the kilt?

I may still make a waistcoat, short with straight hem to try out my theory, with some inexpensive fabric. If I do I will post pics for you good folks to comment on.
