Noticed that about the sporran, but can't really tell if it's an offset flap or not (the one on the far left certainly is). I do think it's worn too high.
Yes, all the kilts are too low.
What's your preferred tie knot?

I think? Its called a fore?(four?)-in -hand knot.

Four. It was designed for a carriage driver to hold the reins of four horses in one hand, thus, 'four in hand'

Thanks. I'll have to learn how to tie that one... for the once in every ten years I wrap a tie around my skinniest of hillbilly necks.

To be fair, I can't count the number of derbys being advertised as oxfords. People don't know shoes in general.

To be fair to the two gentlemen on the right, it's hard to tell if the too low kilts is intention, ignorance or possibly poor sizing. The one on the far right (of the picture I don't know his political persuasion!) Looks as if the Jacket is just a bit too long in the sleeves so could have been asked to model the outfit which didn't quite fit right and so the kilt slipped at the waist?

What I find most improper is the flare of the kilts - a kilt should not be A-line.
I do wear kilts of different lengths, but they are all properly styled. The pleats fall vertically from the lower edge of the fell - it alters the outline and the whole effect of the costume on the body (costume as in set of clothes not 'cos play')
