Thanks John,

Still seems weird to wear a brown belt over black kiltstraps, but I do...I match the shoe leather, belt, sporran strap, and sporran leather and if the kilt strap is black and everything else is brown so be it...belt usually covers all but one strap.

Always wondered why kiltmakers didn't use brown kilt strap leather for kilts that were busy with browns and greens....?

Go figure,

Ron
