Gents, ladies, rapscallions of either sex:

I've done this with my SWK heavyweights (Merino wool) and standards (i.e. acrylic), particularly now that I've "skinnied down" a little. When I'm dressing, I simply tuck the underapron into place and fold the over-apron (or just apron?) over it, and buckle the right hip straps into place. I started this because, with the buckles on the last hole, the kilt was still a little bit big and loose on me.

I've never done this with a poly-vis or poly-cotton kilt.

Guess what I've noticed?

No difference.

The underapron doesn't try to wriggle loose or fall down. With the straps buckled on the right hip, it still fits and wears like a kilt should. The acrylic or wool clings to itself enough to stay in place.

In fact, on my SWK Irish National, I ended up cutting the lower right strap and buckle loose, and secure the kilt with a single strap at the right waist.

I know Matt Newsome (huzzah!) uses a single strap on each side of the waist, deleting the lower strap on the right hip entirely. But does anyone else have any experience using a single strap on the right?

I'm just curious, here.
