How important is a belt?

[lukeyrobertson]

My kilt is has a 3" rise. I have a belt and waist plate. I wear it when I'm not wearing my waist coat. But, I find it uncomfortable and with the rise of the kilt, it's hard to find the right place for it. I'm really thinking about wearing it even less.

That's exactly what eventually happened to me. I began by normally not wearing a belt, then I only wore the belt when not wearing a waistcoat, typically with a twee jacket, then I stopped wearing the belt entirely, because I began to wear the waistcoat no matter what - just a smarter look in my opinion. Now, I have since sold the only belt I ever owned and am currently working on selling the buckle too, which is on sale on xmts by the way! No more belts and waist plates for me - unless it is evening attire and I am wearing a dirk.

Cheers,
