Not a kilt belt per se, but belts that I wear with my kilts often have a velcro adjustment. It's a pretty standard way to make modern sort of nylon 'tactical' belts for military uniforms. It's a bit bulkier on the return, where the belt loops back on itself but over all it's very comfortable.

That being said, I like the other kind with the buckle prongs that go through holes in the belt for more casual dress because those buckles aren't as... big or flashy maybe. Perhaps somewhere there is a buckle that looks like a prong buckle, but works on the velcro belts...
I also havethe SWK belt, I like it. but when you get it you have to work it with the leather conditioner. And the gap is a bit of a problem for me, I can't wear my sporran on front ways with it I have to put it to the side.

I also have one of those leather hidden strap adjustable belts, a total waste of money as the darn thing is so bulky and looks awful - an feels worse. I only wore it once.

It is a pretty stiff piece of leather. I don't quite know what your mean about having to wear the sporran to the side unless you are talking about using a sporran hanger with the belt. I can see how that might cause some problems.

I have a kilt belt with the velcro adjustment on the inside. It is perhapse a little bulkier than the traditional version, but it offers almost endless adjustment options. I'd get another without hesitating.

I have a dress belt from Cavscout. The velco does not have any bulk whatsoever. I would like to try the traditional belt buckle on the inside but I am happy with the velco.

Like I said, those big rectangular belt buckles that tend to be used with this kind of belt don't go too well with casual dress in my mind. I was just looking at the two different kinds, and I bet that a D-ring looking buckel could be rigged up to be used with the velcro.
It's just too WWF unless you're going dressy...

yeah, i ahve the same problem as him as well. the belt works fine but putting the sporran to the side does sometimes annoy me.

I have both types and prefer the velcro. Loads of reasons to like the velcro belt over the old fashioned belt, most of which are mentioned here. The newer belt also has a nicer design.

The dress belts made by cavscout ( http://www.oconeeleatherworks.com/ ) have Velcro adjustments and are a quality product. The ones with the internal buckle adjustment were always digging into my side.
