    Question Instructor Belts

    Does anyone wear, or has anyone thought of wearing, an "Instructor" belt like this with a casual kilt?

    I have one that's similar. I think duty belts in general look good with casual kilts. Make sure the width suits you...I find 1 3/4" is the minimum I like with casual stuff, and prefer 1 7/8 or 2".

    I have a nylon Sam Brown that I plan to wear when I either finish my X-Kilt(just bought the fabric for 2) or buy a kilt from SWK, whichever comes first.
    I expect it'll work well with a SWK Nightstalker sporran.

    I wear my uniform rigger's belt with my ACU pattern Sport Kilt. So go for it.

    I second Fedgunner. It would look (in my opinion) out of place on a traditional tartan kilt.

    I have a CQB Rescue Belt, but I think it may be too over-bearing on a trad...It doesn't hurt to try it on and have a look see, but I wouldn't go out with it unless it's with a utility kilt.

    IMO,
