    What I'd like to see. A box pleated kilt. Canvas. Stealth mode. No metal buckles. Maybe those quick release plastic buckles. The kind where you squeeze the two hooks inward to make it let go. Where the inner apron connects on the left side, some kind of easy to go hook system or latch system.

    End result, something you can wear when taking care of business, like when you have to go through air ports or federal buildings, places with metal detectors. Something light with out all of the bulk of a regular pleated kilt. Something easy on and easy off, with NO velcro, which is evil evil evil if a dreadlock gets hung on it. (Don't ask no questions! ) And it should still be heavy enough to have a decent swing and drape, and not fly up to badly in a breeze.

    I used fastex buckles when I put together my black watch semi-trad. I love em. Absolutely no fiddling around with straps. It makes the kilt really easy to put on and take off. I'm sure Rocky or one of the other professional kiltmakers can improve on what I did, but here's a pic for reference. I was afraid that it might look out of place but it seems alright to me.
