    Thanks to all who have replied. From the suggestions, I thinking about the USA Kilts semi-traditional, right now cost is a big factor. I still haven't decided on the tartan, I keep changing my mind between the Fraser red and Fraser hunting.

    Will any leather belt of proper with work or is there something special about belts for kilts?

    Can I wear the kilt with hiking boots? If so, are there any guidelines for the hose?

    By all means you can wear it with hiking boots, for a casual look, I think they look good with hiking boots and the hose pushed down to boot top level.

    Welcome to the neighborhood Kent. I'm a Frazier as well (same spelling even )

    All the suggestions earlier are very good so no need to repeat. If you are set on a Fraser tartan as your first kilt, the decision is pretty simple on the kilt maker.

    Here's a pic of my USAK Casual Fraser Hunting with hiking boots

    In general, kilt belts are wider than standard belts. Most are around 2 1/4" wide, although some go as wide as 3". A standard belt tends to look too narrow with the kilt's waistband.
