    If Barb hasn't already suggested two straps instead of three and no sporran loops, she will. I recommend both, but especially the two-straps. I am slowly taking off all my hip straps and finding the kilt moves more freely and the aprons drop better when sitting.

    Hmm... maybe that would help me in the future. I'm a man with a medium height, and a bit of a belly. I find that my kilt tends to accentuate my belly rather than improving my appearance.

    Thoughts?

    TWO STRAPS! One on each side. The original use of the double buckles was with "hi-rise" military kilts, and the second buckle on the right fell not at the hip, but at the waist. (I think.)
