    Alrighty then.... While I do not have an issue with weight, and you may not, my friend does and he has earnestly made efforts to lose weight. Alas, it is the easiest thing to say but one of the hardest to do. It is a solution that is also rather obvious to most, and it can be done, as "Jared" on TV has.
    But in the meantime, the immediate issue at hand is how to prevent a kilt from dropping like it's hot.

    Very true and as you are losing weight the problem gets worst as you pass the waist line that is between the strap hole, your are a 1/2 size smaller that the kilt and can afford a new one or the @#$%&^* post office can't get the new kilt to you in time.
    If you see abbreviations, initials or acronyms you do not know the Xmarks FAQ section on abbreviations may help.

    To Meinfs:

    Would you believe duct tape, then a local anesthetic to relieve the pain of removal?

    Wearing bracers with a kilt is nothing new or "non-traditional". I've seen vintage kilts at the Scottish Tartans Museum that had bracer buttons, Matt Newsome (and I believe that kilt historian Bob Martin) have both mentioned that many (most?) of the early tailored kilts had bracer buttons.

    I agree with using suspenders. It use to be more common with kilts. I think one of the antique kilts at the Scottish Tartans museum has suspenders. Can't remember if it's the MacDuff or the Lochiel.
