Fishtail back on kilt with button braces?

[pofloyd1]

Glen, I need to disagree respectfully. There are a lot of threads where the fellows talk about starting their kilt at the top of the kneecap and having to hitch it back up when it reaches the bottom. Obviously, braces would solve that problem.

Further, I am one of the few whose waist, stomach, and hips have exactly the same circumference. All I need to do to remove my kilt is to suck in my stomach and the kilt falls to the floor. For those of us unfortunate enough to have such an arrangement, the braces solve the problem completely, so yes, I do wear them.

I am in the same boat as you Father Bill, but I am also short 5'6" plus my weight can fluctuate sometimes 5 or 6 pounds in a day. I would like to start wearing braces with the kilt, so any information about button placement would be helpful. I only go for walks or short hikes and have to hitch up my kilts constantly.
