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.

It should still sit fine, don't worry! My (cheapo ebay) kilt belt is built like a tank and rough on the inside, so it won't slip or sag.

Great! At least now we got all the Scandinavian countries represented at X-Marks!
