It appears that there are some that are saying it is wrong to use loops for a belt...

In my opinion, loops are for the sporran strap/chain, not the belt. We are, after all, talking about a kilt...not p@nts! Had these two loops on the back been intended for a belt, would there not be more of them around the entire circumference?

Quoting The Art of Kiltmaking, page 104.

"It's very common today to see kilts made with large loops in the back and to see kilt belts put through these loops. Traditionally, however, men's kilts were made without loops, and the firts loops put on a kilt in the mid 20th century were, in fact, for a sporran strap, not a belt...

Ideally, then, loops should be small enough that a belt can't be put through them and should be reserved for a sporran strap, "

The second quote, I believe, was from his wife's book but since he included it, I assume he mirrors the sentiment. I will still use the "belt loops" for my belt and I am glad to see I am in the majority. Danwell, you wrote what I was thinking; well put.
