    Well, since you asked, I prefer two straps. Actually, I also prefer that the left hip strap be set up like Matt Newsome does his---with the buckle INSIDE and no hole cut through the material. YMMV.

    Actually my military kilt had no strap on the left, but two on the right and it stayed up just fine. I often thought the spacing between the two straps was suspiciously accommodating to the width of a belt...

    Speaking of no straps, the homemade monstrosity I'm posing in, in my avatar, is still entirely strapless. Put it on, put the belt on, shazam. The tweed seems to "hold to itself" well enough that it's no problem.
