Funny...good insight!

On a separate note...somebody mentioned wearing a belt as opposed to a cummerbund back a page or two ago and a response explained that a dirk belt is the same as a kilt belt. I won't debate that point, but wanted to expound on it a bit.

Most kilt belts (especially the cheaper ones) are unfinished on the back side. If you are buying a kilt belt for formal wear, I would encourage you to buy one that is lined (red leather is common) or one that is custom made and has been painstakingly finished on the inside as well as the outside.
