Belts That Look Cool with a Kilt

[@wanderer3591]

When I competed in the Highland Games, I used a 2.5-inch black belt with parallel holes, like Rocky showed. It won’t catch when throwing and won’t get ruined if it gets hit or scraped. I use a normal kilt belt when dressed up and not competing, though I might consider wearing my competition belt if hiking or just wearing a T-shirt.

OH, I'm a 54X54" waist and hips, the belt is necessary to keep things up!! Thus the request for bachelor buttons on my Prince Charlie.

Sometimes I wear a belt as thin as 1.75, but I’m only 5’7” and relatively thin. I think a man of average height and girth should stay 2”+ like they said

I use a scaffolder's belt - great quality heavy duty 2" wide leather, cheap as chips, and only costs a marginal amount more for an embossed version. They are quite stiff when new, but a little dubbin (or saddle soap) and it wears in within a couple of weeks of wear.

What about country western belt buckles, or the wide range of belt buckles you can find in antique stores? Do those work with kilts?

[@douglasfrank9323]

I've got a 4 inch that works nicely.

Unfortunately, Grip 6 widest belts are 1.75". They have a wide variety of buckles too. One that Grip 6 probably made, but is marketed by one of your CHEAP (in every sense of that word) competitors is a Welsh Dragon. Grip 6 buckles are mostly much less blingy than your buckles. Better for a utility kilt I guess. I wondered why you'd not mentioned Sam Brown belts until you did in the wrap up. David

What's about a Sam Brown belt?

+USAKiltsOfficial *Thanks for the stylist perspective.* Had I my druthers, I'd pack a 5.11|̱̄⊞̱̄|TACTICALⓇ Sierra Bravo Duty Belt on my Five-Yard.

I don’t know about belts, but it’s time to change out the buckle. The way it attaches full-time to the belt, that’s never made any sense to me. Why not do it the way a regular belt is with a hinged loop underneath? Or, Off to the side so it doesn’t have that weird angle to it

My equipment\gun belt I wore as a security guard.
