Three straps vs two straps

[Standard]

I prefer the two strap arrangement, I find the third strap only serves to pull the apron out of alignment and stretch it unnaturally.

I find that happening, especially since I've added a couple of pounds over the winter. Since I normally buckle the third buckle fairly loosely anyway I'm thinking that I'll have my next kilt made with out the extra buckle. If I remember correctly from my conversations with Barb Tewksbury when she was building my most recent kilt she said about 1/2 of her kilts are ordered with the third buckle, and about 1/2 without.
