What standard kilt item can you not do without?

I cannot do without kilt straps and buckles. Not when regimental.

I guess that some kind of garters for the hose are a must. It seems like I almost always wear hose with my tartan, traditional looking kilts.

With my canvas kilt... I'm not sure.

Confidence man, confidence! I can do with out most all else, but when wearing the kilt you canna do without your confidence!

Precisely pointedly perfect!

Hmmm...I can go without them all. Prefer to go without a sporran, using a jacket or vest instead. Never wear a belt anymore, letting the kilt straps do the work they were intended to do. Usually without a sgian dubh because of where I work. Often without pulled up kilt hose and flashes in hot weather.

Maybe kilt pin, since I always wear a kilt pin unless I'm having to do the TSA dance at the airport.

I just can't go without a sporran as several have already stated. I just don't feel right without hose and flashes no matter if dressed up or down for the day.

Sporran and hose, plus flashes or garters are my must-haves.

Just tell your footman to wait in the hall for your return. Sheesh!
