Those loops of ribbon on the sides.....

Has the OP logged back in yet to explain exactly which loops he was referring too? Lots of great discussion here about both the back loops and the hanging loops...I think we've answered his question either way.

I see that major discussion of the belt-vs-sporran-through-the-loops thing is taking place on another string, generally speaking with Scots and Canadians on one side and Americans on the other. Interesting, but clearly there is no right answer until a law gets passed!

Not all Americans...I do tire of generalisations by nationality around here at times.

It is what it is. Now tell me: Is an informal survey count on Xmarks comments about the regional use of kilt belt loops racist now? Or just merely bigoted? Or are you guys being ridiculously sensitive I wonder?

Clearly there are two people in this three-way that don't read what they've commenting on. So now there are 2.

If I'm feeling lazy, which is usually, I fold it roughly in thirds, then fold it again, and lay it down in a cedar chest. If I'm feeling industrious, I'll roll it end to end rather than folding it.

No, I just get tired of being lumped into a group purely on where I reside.
