Price Value Quality I wear the Thistle Kilt Belt Buckle with a kilt belt I bought from Margaret Morrisons to match my Rothesay Hunting Sporran. This belt/buckle combo paired with a nice pair of dark brown boots and pushed down kilt hose looks great and is very effective at dressing down the Rothesay Hunting Sporran.

Quality Price Value This is a very nice buckle. It has nice weight to it and the clasps for both ends of the belt are secured well and sturdy. The detail is very nice. Very happy with this product.

Price Value Quality Couldn't find anything wrong about it, only thing that was plastic was the container it came in. Love the design now I just need to buy the Irish one for my Irish heritage. This site is the best, the shipping was very fast and the candy that came with it was unexpected. Thank you USAKilts. (Posted on 6/3/2015)

Buyers Guide
The kilt belt is a “different animal” from a regular jeans belt. To attach a kilt belt, start with the end of the belt without the metal ‘D’. Slide the tapered end of the belt through the backside of the buckle with the corresponding metal bridge. Double the belt back on itself and attach the Velcro (or small strap and roller buckle) to itself. Now, the “hook end” of the buckle will be able to attach to the ‘D’ end of the belt. Adjust the kilt belt’s size by doubling the belt back on itself more or less until you get it to the proper size.

Fun Facts
When a kilt belt is worn is a personal preference to a degree, but there are certain situations where it is “less appropriate”. One such situation is when wearing a dress sporran. When the dress sporran is worn, you do not typically wear a kilt belt. When you wear a waistcoat (i.e. vest) with a Semi Dress sporran, you can wear a kilt belt, or you can go without. Rocky personally wears a kilt belt for all occasions, except where a dress sporran is required.
Why is the thistle the "Flower of Scotland"?
According to a legend, an invading Norse army was attempting to sneak up at night upon a Scottish army's encampment. During this operation one barefoot Norseman had the misfortune to step upon a thistle, causing him to cry out in pain, thus alerting Scots to the presence of the Norse invaders. Some sources suggest the specific occasion was the Battle of Largs, which marked the beginning of the departure of King Haakon IV (Haakon the Elder) of Norway who, having control of the Northern Isles and Hebrides, had harried the coast of the Kingdom of Scotland for some years. -
