Yes. Yes there are... and occasionally they discuss kilts as well.

When I first became a Kilted Gent I was Informed that the loops were there to help you hang it up after you took it off. Our Pipe Sergent some 20 years ago would yell at any piper who used them for there belt.

It's my understanding that belt loops are a modern thing. They're not necessary as belts are ornamental only. Still, if you've belt loops and don't put the belt through them, you run the risk of good-intentioned people telling you that your belt is out of their loops.

My kilt, supplied by a long-established kiltmaker in Aberdeen, has loops - but I am seriously considering removing them because it is a faff to put anything through them. Anything I should be aware of before attempting this?

I wore my kilt out on Friday night and did not use the belt loops. I was worried that my sporran strap would slip. Never did. The loops are coming off.
