Thats a good point i never thought of it like that, Its a moot point now anyway i tried it this morning and my belt doesnt quite fit around me with the kilt
The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
He kens na where the wind comes frae,
But he kens fine where its goin'.

I am sorry to say as an ex member of HM Army, that some of my former workmates are of the very thick variety, and whilst I don't condone their attitude some particularly infantry regiments take a VERY dim view of Civilians wearing their regimental colours. Have heard of people having ties taken from because they are not entitled to wear the brigade of guards tie. Some of the more moronic ones are not above coming to blows over it, DON'T ever wear a plain maroon one as that is the parachute regiment and they have been known to start fights just because someone is wearing a maroon sweatshirt.
I don't know what regiment that belt is for but if you wear it just be aware that you will upset someone, it just depends how much.
Its quite bizarre as nobody would raise a problem with wearing the regimental tartan but, try the stable belt or regimental tie or blazer badge and they will raise hell.

the belt is the (now) old style regular RAF stable belt. I am entitled to wear it due to my being a snco in the atc, it doesn't really matter now beacuse the belt doesn't quite fit with my kilt on so I'll only be wearing it in proper uniform

I wouldn't worry anyway, the RAF have always been much more reasonable about such things, it comes from not having that regimental history thing rammed down your throat from day one you join.
