I've previously goused about the fact that UK (and others) seem to think if you have belt loops, they must be 3". Even if one likes the look of a 3" belt, they are not that easy to find. Most "kilt belts" sold on the Internet are 2 - 2 1/2" wide.

That leaves an inch or so of excess waistband, which usually ends up above the actual belt. If you don't happen to be 25 and have abs like Brad Pitt, if your midriff has gone soft as you've aged, that excess waistband will roll over the belt and your whole outfit will look like "sh*t".

Even on the UK "Mockers" which are supposed to replace Dockers, they think that a 3" belt is the norm. I beg to differ and would like to fix mine.

Has anyone tried stitching down the excess lower portion (1" or so) of their UK or other belt loops? That way, the belt stays at the tops of the loops, restaining the "jelly roll" behind the waistband. What sort of luck have you had? Any other ideas?

Thanks,
