    Heres a pic with the buttons in question. Any ideas on what they're for?
    IT has two more in front at the apron corners.

    The buttons are for a set of braces (suspenders).

    Thats what I thought of first. However, the buttons didn't seem to be in the right place for suspenders. I guess they really do things diffrent in the militery.

    Stillwater has stated they mistakenly called it Hunting Stewart. They now list it as Hunting McLeod.

    I thought it looked like the Huntng McLeod, when I first saw it. But I'm not aware of any regiment using that tartan.

    As for the buttons, perhaps they are used to attach the top of the kilt to the inside of a doublet. I've heard that being done to keep the undershirt from showing through between the jacket and kilt.
