[QUOTE=MizzouScotsman;1170394I know that the casual kilts that I do wear are not considered, by some, to be real kilts as they don't have the three belts but instead use velcro.
Any opinions, answers, anything?[/QUOTE]

If my memory serves me correctly Matt Newsome once posted that he had a kilt (woo) that did not have any straps/belts. He used a belt to keep it in place. Generally, the belt is not used to hold the kilt up or at least should not be necessary to hold the kilt up. However, I dare anyone to tell Matt that he is not wearing a kilt because it doesn't have straps.
