MoD Kilt Hanging Strips

[xman]

If you look closely you will see they do indeed have a band of a plain fabric, it looks like some sort of satin cloth or ribbon, but because of hte way the kilt are hanging it has sort of folded inside the kilt.
Having a contrasting top band is very traditional ,infact some military kilts can be identified by their green edging.

Ah yes, I see. I was fooled by the taper in the wool above the waistline. You can see at the side some of the stripes disappear. Perhaps this is another illusion though. Also, what do you think the buttons in the naval position are for?

I would have thought that they were for attaching a waist coat. The Duke of Windsor was known to be a snappy dresser and went out of his way to look good in public. With the waist coat and kilt connected together, it couldn't twist round out of alignment nor could it ride up.
