How to prevent a kilt from dropping

[Galician]

This relates to a problem I have. I do wear a belt. I wear it as tightly as is practical, but the belt itself is always slipping down. I too have thought of suspenders (braces), but have not taken that step yet, wondering how it would look.

Is this an item of modern dress which people think is totally inappropriate to kiltwearing?

Pardon me for being blunt friend, but the best solution would be to lose some weight.

I know it isn't easy, but you'll look better, and you'll feel better. Once you have a waistline, your kilt will stay up just fine.

Cheers,
Rick

Alrighty then.... While I do not have an issue with weight, and you may not, my friend does and he has earnestly made efforts to lose weight. Alas, it is the easiest thing to say but one of the hardest to do. It is a solution that is also rather obvious to most, and it can be done, as "Jared" on TV has.
But in the meantime, the immediate issue at hand is how to prevent a kilt from dropping like it's hot.

Very true and as you are losing weight the problem gets worst as you pass the waist line that is between the strap hole, your are a 1/2 size smaller that the kilt and can afford a new one or the @#$%&^* post office can't get the new kilt to you in time.

There is another thread similar to this. I am large with no but and my kilts like to head south. I saw on a military clothing web site a device for keeping your shirt looking good. I was basically a soft rubber strap/belt the was worn under your pants and on top of the shirt tail. This created friction between the pants, belt line and shirt to keep the shirt from riding up.

I picked up anti-skid padding at Wally World, used for lining drawers, shelves, placed under rugs to keep them from sliding, etc. I cut it into a strip about 2 inches wide and long enough to go around my waist. Hook and Loop was placed on the end. I put my shirt on, put this anti-skid belt on and place the kilt on top. I place the anti-skid belt at the lower half of the area pulled tight by the kilt straps.

The kilt puts pressure on the anti-skid belt, the anti-skid belt puts pressure on the shirt and the shirt acts like suspenders/braces.
