Morrison (ancient hue), 8 yd, 13 oz. wool, handsewn. Check out the pleating on this bad boy.

Oh, and the brown belt is also of the 2" breed.

my mother is a gillmore and thats were i get my scots blood. looks awesome man, though i like the modern version better.

i have to say the 2 incher does look good on it.

I have a 1.75 belt and think it looks OK, but I do not want to find myself on the "Kilt Don'ts" page some day.

I don't think a 1 3/4" belt in itself will get you a "Kilt Don't." But I'd still keep your eyes open for something at least 2" wide.

As Moosedog pointed out, I think your individual proportions will play into it as well. The taller you are, the more a thin belt will stand out as, well, a thin belt.
