    The philabeg seems to ride a bit lower than a traditional kilt on me, anyway. That bothers me not at all. I use a narrower black belt with a fairly large pewter celtic belt buckle and I think it looks pretty good.

    If you ask Rocky, he'll put wider loops on if you want.

    Hey Billmcc,

    Most customers that are spending $120 on a kilt don't WANT to spend $75 on a kilt belt and buckle for it. That's one of the main reasons that we have the standard 1.5 inch loops on it. It's more for what "that level" of our customer base would prefer. If you want 3 inch loops on your casual, Kelly or I'd be happy to do it for you.

    The casual is designed around the customer who is coming into this from wearing jeans all the time. We designed it and give measuring instructions for it to fit a LITTLE lower than the Semi Trad. If you want it higher on your waist, take the measurements higher.

    Hope this info helps!

    I have three of the USA Kilts "casuals" (formerly "philabeg") and I'm happy with the 1.5" belt. I've never had anyone comment on the belt looking too narrow.
