    2. Fabric feels lightweight
    3. Kind of weird putting it on but the various straps are standard on many kilts
    4. I need a sporran which I knew beforehand but just getting "suited up" with all the straps and chains and whatever seems like such an ordeal!

    I don't know - it might just take some getting used to. It is hanging in the closet and I just don't know what to think. I much prefer the heavier poly/cotton blends but that's just me.
    Traditional style straps do take a little getting used to and do require a bit more time, but I much prefer the straps. For one thing, they are much more forgiving of changes in waist size. For instance, if you eat a bit too much at a meal, you can just loosen the straps one notch. You can't do that with snaps.

    I'm with Dave on this one. I can't wear my two Utilikilts right now because I've lost a little weight and even with a belt I have to keep hiking them up. On my other kilts I can just tighten the straps (or velcro) and off I go.
