    Kilt belt buckle to go with MOD culloden cantle

    Hi Guys,

    I'm not much of a fans of kilt belts: I find them to be an unnecessarily clunky burden to my outfit...

    However, as spring is on its way, I can now expect to wear my kilt more often without a waistcoat and jacket. And its true that in such circumstances, a belt can complement the kilt well.

    This is were I need your advice: what would you wear with a Culloden MOD cantle sporran? I reckon a brass buckle with a brownish belt would do the trick. Any examples of suitable buckles out there?

    Cheers,

    Alisdair

    Something like a Sam Browne always looks good.

    The actual wait belt in the Sam Browne is not bad... I think I'd drop the cross piece (or whatever the belt across the chest is called).

    Yes, unless you're going to wear a sword then the cross belt is not really necessary. The waist belt on the other hand, looks good with a kilt.

    Nice tie there Shaun, it looks very much like the Gurkha Brigade tie, to my tired old eye.
