Neat kilt hanging trick

[McMurdo]

Hello James,I hope you had a great trip.That is a neat idea of yours----I keep re-learning that I am never too old to learn a new trick!

Slightly off topic,sorry,but I notice in the pictures above that the kilts have belt loops.Is this a modern idea?Or, is this a colonial adaptation?

My first kilt is a Gunn Modern that my dad gave me it was made by A&J Scott and co. Aberdeen, in about 1950, and it has belt loops. The Isle of Skye kilt was made here with the loops but my Graham of Mantieth Modern from Hector Russell has no belt loops.
I'm really not sure what that means but I am sure that the addition of loops is not a Colonial adaptation.
