Another Belt Question

[Irish in Tacoma]

OK, got my belt and buckle in the mail today. Put it together, and noticed that the right side, where the adjustment is made on the belt and the buckle attaches, makes the buckle stick out quite far because of the two layers of leather and two layers of velcro there. The left side, with the metal loop sewn in, seems to be skived down thinner than a single layer of leather from the right side, so the buckle on the left sits tight to the belt. Looking down from above, instead of sitting straight across my body, the buckle is angled in a northeast-southwest slant.

Is this typical for this style of belt, and is it anything to worrry about? Removing some of the velcro right at the fold would help thin it down a bit. Any recommendations?

Eeeeeek! A kilt belt held together by velcro?!! What is the world coming to? I need to see a photo of this.

I agree with Hamish, I may be spoiled but I cringe at the thought of velcro on any part of Scottish attire but I guess with the more contemporary kilts it wouldn't matter.

I hadn't planned on velcro, it just showed up that way. The outside is nice with an embossed celtic knot pattern along the length.
