My 4th Pittsburgh Kilt

[Ugly Bear]

UB, great Kilt! I think I might have to treat myself to a Kilt like that one of these days.

Yeah, the clips are great. They're more adjustable than standard straps-'n'-buckles, and easier to use, too.

In this setup, however, they're not QUITE traditional. I'm talking about the buckle on the left waist. In a traditional kilt, the strap will stick through an eyehole in the waist, connecting the under-apron to the outer section. Getting a clip through the waist would require a pretty serious hole in the waist, one that might limit the life of the kilt.

So I cheated. The left-waist buckle sits on the outside of the kilt, and the area is held together by a series of hooks underneath. But it does have a side effect: the left-waist buckle performs like the extendable loop in a UK Workman's. Just snap it apart, extend it, and lock it onto something. It's a good place for me to hang my hat.

And to top it all you you have such a great smile in your picture !

Thanks! Not too many people can tell when I'm smiling, but you seem to have a discerning eye.
