McMurdo - I didn't realize that a kilt belt is worn with a Montrose. Is that because the buckle is visible even with the jacket buttoned?

Just to clarify that the Montrose doublet is buttoned, and then the belt is put on over the doublet, right Glen?

Yes indeed you put on the doublet first then put on the belt. Perhaps I should do a step by step on it, but it's far too hot right now for that.

The Montrose or Military doublet is a short jacket without tashes (Inverness flaps) and is worn with a belt over it -

The belt is held in place with (in my case) two metal hooks at the rear or in more modern ones with a couple of loops. Mine also has two hooks with elastic straps which fix to the kilt and prevent the jacket riding up.
