    One of my kilts has belt loops, but I tend to forget that they are there.

    That seems the sensible thing to do. I was wondering, though, what the lower loop would be for.

    I think your thinking of the lower strap on the right hand side not an aditional belt loop.
    The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
    He kens na where the wind comes frae,
    But he kens fine where its goin'.

    I also remove the third strap if there is one. I add it to the two above so I can have a bigger range of fit. See picture for more details

    It would seem funny to have belt loops and not put your belt through them. Personally, I put the belt on first then the sporran strap. I do not use a chain on my sporran, although most come with one. Too much danger of damaging the kilt fabric. My strap is black leather, about an inch wide, and has a buckle on the back to adjust length.

    I don't have any kilts that even have belt loops, so I voted don't use them at all.
