Fat Guy in a skirt!

[Panache]

Kevin,

The length works for me. Looking at your photograph what strikes me is how narrow the belt looks and the lack of hose. I think you will look (and feel much better) with kilt hose and a wide 2+" kilt belt with sporran. I would trade the t shirt for another with some of the matching colors of the kilt (or better yet a polo shirt). The most important accessory to have with your kilt is confidence. You look fine, keep that thought in your head for your next picture.

Cheers

Yes, here you will learn that accessorizing is the key. Every man has the ability to look great in a kilt. Good for you, its great to see humility in this day and age. You are brave, asking for honest opinions on the 'net.

Your Avatar. Live it! Wear yer kilt.

Think of the Scots warriors who came home from war bent and crippled. I doubt they worried about how they looked, and neither should you. It's about confidence, honoring your heritage, and comfort. Kilt on!

I fitted plenty of abundantly sized men into Utilikilts (options include the double beer gut cut), and think they looked great, as do you. I second the socks suggestion. Kilt on!

Best regards,

Jake

Wear it with pride and don't worry about what others think.

The kilt looks fine on you. Remember there were a lot of short and squat Scotsmen who wore them!

I hear it often from men with more "robust" body types that they don't think the kilt will look good on them. Nonsense! A good kilt can actually help make you look slimmer -- and one thing that people forget is that kilts are *tailor made to fit you*. This means no matter what your body type, it should fit well and look good.

I made a kilt last year for someone with a 62" waist and recieved the most glowing email from him when he recieved it. He has trouble finding clothing that fits well, but this kilt was made just for him and fit like a glove. He was comfortable, and looked good.

Never let body type be an excuse not to wear the kilt!

Aye,
Matt

I agree with the others. Wear your kilt with pride!
Throw on some socks (scrunch them down) and some heavy boots and it will and visual weight down below. A nice polo or button down shirt (match the color to your socks) and you'll be good to go.

I disagree with Panache and think that the belt looks great. It would look better with a plain sporran and proper kilt hose though. As far as your physique goes everything looks fine to me, in fact everybody looks good in a kilt, no matter what size or shape they are.

The kilt looks good and will only look better with a sporran.
