My new Red Robertson

It is a beautiful kilt. I own a Newsome box-pleat in Robertson (woven by Dalgliesh). Love it and the colours. You did well!

I think you look good. As others have mentioned, the lower strap on the right hip is not necessary. i prefer to have them left off--tbey tend to pull MY aprons oddly across. On my kilt with the third strap, I have to leave it pretty loose.

A to the headgear...wear what you like. That is not just token commentary. If you really like it, wear it. Again, I think you look well put together. The black makes a pretty modern look on an otherwise traditional turn out.

Thanks! This being my first, I went with a basic unadventurous sett pleating.

I considered Dalgliesh wool, but will save that for 1) when I'm more experienced and 2) when I have all the money to spare.

I am dying to see what a box-pleat Robertson looks like though, as I did consider that, as well.
