I prefer the leather straps. Not only to protect the kilt. I like the look of a leather strap, just not a chain type of guy.

YES! There is a X Marker out there who makes them (Cavscout, but I don't know if he is still taking orders). Otherwise get one from your kilt supplier. Or do what I did and go to Target, look in Women's Accessories, and get a 3/4" wide plain black belt in the right length (works great, looks fine, but doesn't have the cool looking clasps and fittings that Cavscout's have though).

One more question...does it ruin the pleats to sit too long in your kilt? I have my kilt for my wedding and my fiance gets worried i am going to cruch the pleats. can't piss off the boss. i've got really expensive pictures to take post wedding and during reception.
is there anywhere i can get a list or is there a site i can find how to assemble my kilt outfit? (pins, belt, sporran, hose, shoes, etc.?)

A search on the word wedding should get you the info you need. There's quite a few wedding pics floating around too. Just do a sweep when you sit and your pleats will be fine.
Remember, there are no "dumb" questions so ask away.

Practice the "butt sweep" as you sit down so that you are more-or-less sitting on the pleats flat rather than jumbled up. Hopefully it is a wooden pew and not one of those wretched padded monstrosities...mush easier to get things right on a smooth surface.
I've sat for good long periods and never seen a problem in either acrylic or wool kilts. I don't think you can generate quite enough heat to re-crease the pleats significantly. I never, however, wear a kilt when driving long distances.

You've just made a lot of fellows very jealous with that remark!!!

You are, what?, a 28" waist?? I regret to say that I think I would have to go to an equestrian tack shop.
