Hamilton Grey PV

Last weekend I went with a monochrome casual look (not even a kilt pin). Not my usual preference but I liked it. The only thing that bugs me is the belt has brass hardware instead of silver, but for the price I couldn't resist ($15 at Target, women's wear). Sporran also feels like it might be hanging a smidge low so I may need to do some work on the hangers, at least for wearing my BKs.

Nice casual look there!

Perhaps a traditional sporran strap/belt would be an easy solution if you are wanting to wear your sporran a bit higher? It may also be a bit more versatile, as when not wearing a kilt belt with a waistcoat or sweater.

Cheers,

Brooke

I think the look comes off well.

Looking good.
I also have a kilt in this tartan. When I ordered it I was expecting to find the Hamilton sett in shades of grey, however it is purely a fashion check named for Hamilton Products of Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. The kilt is a standard 24" length which is slightly too long for me as I am only 5feet 9 inches tall, but it makes a good casual kilt for winter wear.

That looks good. Nicely put together.

Thanks everyone. Cessna, pretty much the same here. Was expecting something more muted, but was rather pleased when it showed up. It is a very versatile look. Mine was also 24" and I am 5'7". It is about an inch or so long so I have to hike it up a little high but for the price I paid, I really cannot complain. The more I wear it, the more I enjoy it.

I like the muted colour palette because of its subtlety. As for the sporran, I don't think it looks too low, but that may be because you are wearing your kilt high to compensate for the length. Looks good to me!

I would not necessarily agree with that, while not PV, I have 2 wool kilts that are designed to be worn at that height as they have a higher rise. Granted not all my kilts are worn that high, but the ones designed to be worn with the higher rise are very comfortable.
