Which is absolutely correct. Big guys in a properly fitting kilt look fine; the minute the kilt slips below the navel, the whole appearance takes on a slovenly look-- definately not the image you want to pass on to your Scouts.

As ForresterModern has suggested, if your kilt keeps giving in to gravity (and remember, it should be snug around the waist) then you need to consider using suspenders/braces.

Keeping the belt in place can be accomplished buy stitching two belt keepers to your kilt, one on each side. You can get these tiny hooks from most fraternal supply houses. You might try New London Regalia (www.newlondonregalia.com) or Los Angeles Fraternal Supply Co. (www.lafsco.com). They will be listed in the same section as Masonic Knight Templar regalia and uniform items.

These hooks are also excellent for locating your sporran chain (it brings them forward and several inches higher) and preventing them from slipping under your gut... sorry, tummy.
