Please explain the belt.

I purchased a cheap basic 2.25" kilt belt and buckle off ebay and was surprised to see how thin the leather was. Worn in conjunction with my USA Casual I felt the size of the buckle was out of proportion to the kilt as the casual is worn at the level of pants. Perhaps for a formal occasion it would be appropriate to wear the more traditional buckle but for my taste I'm partial to the belt I found at Wal-Mart for $11.00

It has a great brushed nickle buckle and is 1.75" wide and very thick. The pebbeled texture nearly matches my buzz kidder sporran and as you might see in the photo I bought a second one and cut it down to make a matching sporran strap.

I personally feel the less flashy belt allows the kilt to blend into a more contemporary daily look better than a large ornamental buckle.

But if you like a military look, here's a site you can find several different styles, though colors are limited.
