I have one kilt I used push-click quick release buckles for and although a lightish fabric, there is a lot of it - the phrase 'girded his loins' always comes to mind when I just pick it up, never mind when I put it on.

The waistband - I assume, is centred on the front, then the pleats are made so as to fill the distance required.
I wouldn't have done it like that - because I couldn't - I have something described in initial letters only and which requires the use of a micrometer when sewing - but that is one heck of a kilt - it must feel great to wear it.

There used to be a phrase turn up on the forum
'a man in a kilt is a man and a half'
which I think fairly epitomises the situation here.

What do you wear it with?

Yes, I know - anything I want to - I'm just curious - and nosy.
