Ok, I admit it, I do not own a kilt belt or buckle. This, even though my kilt has two belt loops in the back, capable of handling a 2 1/4 inch wide belt.

For day wear purposes, is a belt & buckle really necessary? How about if I plan on removing my jacket at some point during the day, and the weather is too warm to wear a waistcoat?

The reason I ask is that a long-time friend is getting married in June (she's a MacDonald ), and has asked me to attend her wedding kilted (the 'something old' part not doubt). Luckily, the dress code is not 'formal'. Being June in Oregon, it will likely be around 24°C (75°F), so the tweed jacket will probably be shed during the reception. Also, the only sporran I own is plain, brown leather, but that should be acceptable for this event.

So what say the rabble? Should I buy a wide belt and buckle, and/or a semi-dress sporran. Or should I save the money, and buy a decent bottle of whisky for my use at the reception?
