I am the one making the kilt, and I believe i put belt loops for a 3 or 3.5 belt. it looks totally awesome and i'm planning to put up pics once it's done as i've had lots of helpful hints from people on this forum.

he wanted a sporran too, but of course doesn't have the money so i did some research and made up my own pattern and decided to have a go and it's turning out really awesome too, i think.

he has an eye on this celtic tree of life belt buckle and it's supposed to fit 2.75 or 3" belt so if he wants that he'll have to have a max of 3.

thanks all for the advice
