No worries - but I'll warn you up front that I wore a ring-buckled belt consistently for years before ditching it for a regular buckled belt.
The long "tail" hanging down will cause problems. I lost all of the hair on my left thigh one event because I'd left the tail hanging just a bit "forward" of its usual spot, and did a LOT of walking. The "tail" kept slapping my leg, and eventually removed all of the hair in that spot.
Also, they're a pain in the butt to get adjusted comfortably and KEEP them there.
I'd recommend against the rig he's using, especially with a kilt.
I'll second that. I wear one all the time for SCA and its find if you dont -depend- on it to keep something up. Like your kilt. It slowly works loose and you have to tighten it regularly. This is fine if it just has a pouch and maybe a tankard on it, but not so good when it is holding your plaid closed and up. Super easy to make though.
