One thing that leapt out from the pics: Barb's work is so good, the pleating and alignment so tight and bang on (would an Army guy say "STRAC"?) that, where your belt is OVER the beltloops, the loops themselves break up the symmetry. Straight lines all the way up, and then the belt loops veer off like they're plunging fire.

But dang that's a sharp looking kilt!
