So, here's the rest of what I'm looking at getting to complete the ensemble (my first kilt) I'm buying myself for my birthday next month. Kilt purists will want to shield their eyes and click the *back* button now, I suspect.

I'll assume you all know what a SWK Nightstalker kilt, Nighstalker cargo sporran, and gray kilt hose look like, so here's the rest of the get-up I'm looking at. Whadda you think?

(Don't worry, I have the traditional leather belts/straps/sporrans on my shopping list as well.)

Black Nylon Pistol Belt (I do plan on wearing this outfit shooting)



Prana chalk bag belt from REI for a sporran strap (thanks to a poster of at the kiltmen.com forums).



Lands' End Mens Extreme Activewear Moc Shoes (or something similar). I like the "shield" on the top there.



Clan crest kilt pin from ScottishThemes.com



Topping it off would most likely be a white or gray t-shirt, and either my 10-year-old, well-weathered black denim jacket or my nice leather one, depending on the weather, I guess.

Pushing the edges of the envelope is one thing we're good at here at X-Marks. I have a Nightstalker kilt and I use an almost identicle sporran strap for my Nightstalker sporran. Post some pics when you get the outfit together.

I like that a lot. I've been considering a nylon belt like that to go with my Nightstalker kilt and sporran. And yes, do post piccies when you get them

I am not a big fan of nylon Pistol Belt. How about a Sam Brown Belt?

Dioublewood,

I'm not a fan of the looks of ballistic nylon, though I certainly note that it has many advantages to leather. That said, I think all the items you have selected go well together save one-the kilt pin. All the other items are a modern variation on kilted accessories. I suggest a more modern looking or stylized design for a kilt pin (preferably in black). You are getting creative and making your own look. Go for it all the way.

Just my two cents

Cheers

The Sam Brown Belts are nice too. Was looking at the nylon belt to match the sporran.

I could get the clan crest badge for the front of the sporran,and go with a different kind of pin, Wanted to throw in a touch of tradition somewhere. Thanks for the ideas.

Have to agree with Panache about the kilt pin. Here's a page with one that might be to your liking:

Add a black UM92 and you'll be good to go. We're looking forward to the photos.

Shoot us a picture. It all sounds like a good outfit to me. I always wear nylon for carrying. doesn't hold the moisture in. O'Neille

Welcome from Carlisle England--I think getting you outfits together takes trial & error. Post pictures & you will get different opinions
