    The belt loops made of tartan sewn to the back of some kilts are for sporran straps, although I routinely see people put a kilt belt through them. The small loops of ribbon sewn into the waist band can be used for hanging the kilt on a hanger with the appropriate hooks.

    Cordially,

    David

    Didn't somebody recently post that their kilt had either buttons or loops on the inside to attach to their formal doublet? That might be what your loops are. But, as has already been posted, the loops on the outside of the kilt are for your sporran strap.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    i carefully cut mine off ,its best to avoid using them to hang your kilt and just use a proper kilt or skirt hanger to hang a kilt up ,
    you may find using those to hang a good weighted kilt would actually distort its shape over time

    that is just funny! I'll try that the next time my kilt slides down! Is the proper technique to use your thumbs or index fingers?
