The pin *is* on the left side. It's a cheaply made kilt and I don't suppose those who made it knew much about kilts in the way people here do

Another of the reasons I only wear this one at home is the lack of pockets, and I don't own a sporran. It doesn't have any straps for a belt or sporran either.

Go for a "starter" kilt...many posts on this forum about what your options are in that regard. Try to score a sporran and a wide enough belt to go with...you'll be a lot more comfortable out in public with the "whole" look...it makes it very clear that you are wearing a KILT and not something else.

They are way cool to wear out and about...I did my yard work in mine this morning and went one for one: one neighbor tried to ignore it and say nothng and another who asked a ton of questions. It has become very comfortable for me to go about kilted and I hope that you'll find it so as well.

Glad to see that you are getting the comfort of Kilts under your belt, well done. I wish that I had discovered Kilts years earlier, you have a life time of Kilt enjoyment.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I've got a big fat belt to go with the denim kilt I intend on making my first real one. I suppose I should get a sporran, but that's secondary to getting the kilt itself!

You dont need any loops for a belt or a sporran (my kilt doesn't have any either), they will sit fine without. The wide belt (min. 5cm) is good if you're showing the top of the kilt, but I reckon kilts without sporrans look fine if not often better for casual wear. I leave mine off unless I don't have anywhere else to put my keys (or I need to appear dressed-up, which hasn't been the case yet...).

Well done with the kilt-wearing and keep us posted!

It's more an issue of the belt sitting where it should instead of hanging however it pleases. At least when I wear a belt with pants, without using the beltstraps, it doesn't keep sitting at the right place all the time.
