Leaving aside the military, why would you ever think wearing a belt over a pullover necessary, or indeed that it looked good?

I think Tobus and Huntgathergrow look fine in their sweaters. Folding over the bottom of the sweater is usually effective at getting the length right for clearing your sporran. And I think sweaters pair well with kilts in general, since, as Tobus notes, they both flourish in Scottish weather.

No, but as I have learned since being on this board, my first instincts are not always correct or acceptable, being more safe then looking like a fool...CHEERS...

To create a better join if the sweater is baggy... Ironically enough not as much of a problem with the tighter fitting NATO style...
Maybr tucking the sweater might be better if it's baggy and worn with a kilt??...

I don't know about of the rest of you but I almost need to wear a belt of some sort, due to all the things that hang from my belt every time I leave the house. I have the phone in a belt case on one side then there is the multi-tool and belt ring to hang my keys from. Unlike some people I need all my keys every day. As for the phone, yes it is a modern smart phone, and it is absolutely needed every day as well. The multi-tool, not so much, but every time I have left the house without it I have regretted it. It would require a huge sporran to carry all of that plus wallet, business card case, and change purse as well. So, yes I wear a belt, but not necessarily on top, I have no problem with the belt and belt stuff being concealed under my sweater or jacket.
Just my two cents worth.

I, too, always wear a belt with my kilt because (1) I use sporran hangers (although I'm thinking of trying out a strap to see if I like that better) and need the belt and (2) I like the way the kilt looks with a belt.
On the occasions I've had where I can wear a sweater (yes, occasions do arise where a sweater is desirable - it's in the 50s F today for example) I wear it on top no different that if I'd had on slacks.
Just my two cents worth.

My Irish fisherman's knit sweater has a reasonably looser weave than a military-style wooly pully, and I would be worried about having the belt buckle catch the sweater, even for a belt with no sharp edges. I would opt for wearing the sweater without a belt for this reason alone. Additionally, my mother knitted it for me and it is not replaceable. Just my opinion on the subject, mind you.
