Two buckles vs three?

[Jock Scot]

I can tell you nothing about casual kilts, but some kilts have two straps and some have three and I don't think there is any "right" or "wrong" here. I do know of some members here who have cut off the third(bottom) strap as they have found them unnecessary. I think the one downfall of the third strap is that there is a tendency for some people to do them up too tightly and cause the kilt not to hang properly. Really though, I would not loose any sleep over it , one way or the other.

Thanks for your reply, and opinion. I think that I'm coming to the conclusion (at least for me) that the number of straps (two vs three) is really probably less of an issue influencing the "feel of the kilt" than is the "casual vs. traditional", and fabric weight and yardage.

I'm beginning to lean (again) towards my next kilt being another traditional cut.....

Thanks for your help. It's much appreciated...
