All the pleats are sewn in and it has two under apron pockets. One for a cell phone and a larger main pocket. All the belt loops were sized for a 2.5" belt as requested and the leather straps are 6 oz vegtable tan finished in a light Mahoganey antiquing finish. All the hard wear is brass and there is a velcro attachment point on the left hip to bind the over and under aprons together. I hope you guys like it and that Sean is pleased. As for the attachment those are reinforced grommets in the kilt and the strap are attched with brass Chicago screws.
