Anyway I have opted for 2 straps and I am going to have the kilt made to sit from the trouser line. I'm sure it's not for everyone but I think it's the right decision off me.
    If that is what you want, then have it. It is that simple. Just something for you to think about and you may have already, if you are wanting to wear the kilt in any sort of smart, or formal event sometime in the future, then a kilt made to fit the modern day trouser line will be the very devil to get the Jackets and waistcoats(vests) to fit properly. The dreaded gap showing the shirt betwixt kilt top and waistcoat bottom(some styles of jacket too) is almost impossible to avoid and I have to say, it really does look dreadful.
