The kilt has two sporran strap loops in the rear. They are practically invisible.
The kilt comes with two ribbon loops, which work well to hang the kilt from a peg, temporarily, if needed. The buckles are mounted to the interfacing, with the tartan aligned quite well. The lower buckle appears in the photo to be out of alignment while the kilt is not on me, but falls into alignment as soon as the straps are buckled around me. The straps are a nice satin finish, and are supple as well as heavy duty. The finish on the buckles is smooth and polished. The horizontal alignment of the tartan across the pleats is absolutely perfect.
Please notice that the tartan matches as does the twill on all three buckles. There are four double stitched rows holding the buckles to the interfacing.
The under apron strap is shown here. It has two rows of stitches holing it to the interfacing. Although more than adequate to do the job, my other tanks have an "X" stitched between the rows. The satin tone of the strap works well with this tartan.
The outer apron straps are entered neatly through the tartan to the interfacing. The front apron "hangs" on the interfacing very smoothly.
The alignment of the fringe with tartan on the outer apron is clean and neat the whole length.
