I don't have a proper sporran or kilt belt at the moment. I have my belt on order though and I am making my own chain sporran belt. Once I have it all together I will post up some pics

Careful of that chain belt. Chains have a way of gradually wearing out the fabric of the kilt. If you can find a leather strap (or repurpose a belt from Goodwill) that will help protect your kilt.

I use very narrow, very long ladies' belts. Cheap at some of the discount big-box stores - $15 or less.

Great ideas all!
Also, thanks for the heads up on the chain. I am using a light aluminum so I am hoping it will not harm too much.
As for the knees, I think it was the angle of the picture. I had knee for all to see!

The concern with a chain will be less about the metal it's made of, and more about ensuring that every link is checked for any burrs and sharp edges that could snag the fabric, causing chaffing, or pulling threads. Be sure to feel every surface of every link, before using it, as even the smallest rough spot can be rough on the fabric after several hours of wear.

Congratulations on joining the few, the proud... the wearers o' the kilt!

Congratulations, Kraig.
You indeed have a nice looking kilt and have had good experiences wearing it.
Now, concerning the photo, please don’t regard what I’m going to say as criticism but a help.
Taking your own picture from a short distance with the camera positioned in eyelevel, pointed down and probably with the shortest focal length available inevitably makes you look distorted. Your head shows too big and your lower body way too small. Perhaps you do show a bit knees, but under these circumstances it is not to see.
I should suggest therefore that you rather place the camera in an exactly balanced position and you yourself considerably further away from it. It may in many cases be a problem with shots inside the home, but then go outside.
By the way, looking at fashion photos you’ll recognize that they are often shot from waist level – or lower.

That's why I always kneel when I'm taking photos of people. It's more "balanced" a view.
