Even though it is a modern, casual kilt, my NeoKilt has these two 'loops'. Yesterday, when I wore it out for the first time, I had also found a small leather belt-pack to do the function of a sporran. It just seemed natural to thread it's strap through the 'loops' at the back. I never realized how much I was following tradition... :-)
