    A nice neat appearance, and as there is no strap hole to work around, alterations take just a few mins.

    All of the kilts I made for The Canadian Scottish Regt. had the left strap inside and a single right strap. This made fitting new troops, with a limited number of stock kilts, so much easier and much more cost effective for the unit. This would hold true for a pipe band too.
    Yes!! That would be wonderful for civilian pipe band kilts.

    Just last week I had to alter three band kilts which were to be worn at our first band gig in over a year.

    Two kilts had mysteriously shrunk, while another had just as mysteriously expanded.

    Due to not being able to move the hole, I sewed on new, longer straps on the under-apron of the shrunken kilts.

    Those ancient U Nialls from Donegal were a randy bunch.

    Yes I think Covid is to blame for widespread kilt shrinkage over the last 14 months!
