"Western" Style with Contemporary Kilts

Much like a regular cowboy belt, but upscaled to kilt width.

*Edit: The above is the belt/buckle combination that Tobus describes... I just happened to have a photo of it.

The fox and hound sporran looks great by its self or with the western belt. The extra belt keepers keep it all centered and hanging right.

I wear western hats, vests, and shirts with my kilts on occasion. Haven't tried the western boots -- dowbt if I will - but do wear hiking boots (ankle high lace-up) when - uh - hiking
