MoD Kilt Hanging Strips

[Standard]

A couple of my kilts have hanging loops. When I get home from work I'll snap a couple of pictures and post them. The loops on mine extend about the same distance above the kilt when hanging as do the ones in your example. The ribbon is not very wide, perhapse 1/4" if I remember correctly, it is no where near the 3/4" that Pleater suggested. I only hang my kilts for short periods by the loops, the majority of the time I use a normal clamp clothes hanger so as to not pull the kilt out of shape. Someone, I forget who, told me that the proper way to hang with the loops is to fold your kilt into thirds just as if you are wearing it. After that is accomplished fold the kilt in half so the apron is touching itself and the two loops are together. From this point you can hang your kilt on a peg or coat hook. I'll post photos when I get home for you to better illustrate this process.

This is my understanding of the intended use of the loops by the military...back when they would have hung their kilt on a wooden peg.

...and for the post OP...I can almost guarantee that none of the kilts in that photo you've posted are MOD kilts (The ones that you can see tags on all appear to be made by Chalmers of Oban...it appears that HRH is a loyal customer). I am pretty sure you already knew that and you were just using the pic as an example. Incidentally...this is one of the favorite pics that I've harvested off this site! It has been my desktop wallpaper a time or two.
