Three straps vs two straps

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I did a blog post way back in 2005 about the reason why kilts are typically made today with three straps, rather than two, and arguing for the practicality of two straps.

It's not a "North American" thing, but a fashion born and bred in Scotland I am afraid! For the record, all of my kilts have two straps!

As mentioned earlier, the third strap is quite useful for anyone who dances. Especially the highland dancers who are constrained by the SOBHD dress code that states kilt pins are not to be worn.
