Matters of style

[McMurdo]

One thing I notice is if the sporran strap is under your belly it can accentuate it, if you bring it up a bit so it does not go underneath it helps.

I advise all my customers who are "Gentlemen of Substance" to get their Kilt made with a Full Rise.
This means that the top straps of the Kilt are at your natural waist. Or just below the ribs.

When worn this way the front apron of the Kilt drops straight down and almost totally camouflages the stomach.

Then insure the sporran is sitting just on the stomach and not hanging underneath. This way it will hang free in front and not bunch up the aprons.

Please see the photo of Big Mikey above.

You can avoid this problem by wearing sporran hangers instead of a sporran strap. And definitely wear a kilt at or above the navel (a full-rise kilt will do this for sure. This tends to disguise the paunch. Whereas a kilt worn at normal pants height emphasizes the paunch). Properly worn, the kilt can have a slimming effect.

I have some of those. Tell you what, if you don't have some of your own, you pay for shipping and they are yours. PM me if you're interrested.
I was going to trade them for something else, but your need is greater than mine.

I'm a larger guy, too.

I personally don't wear sporran chains because they cut into the apron right underneath my beer gut and make it look bigger. Instead, I got a pair of hangers that hook into my kilt belt and hang straight down, avoiding the "double bubble".

Dark colored shirts always have a slimming effect as well.

Above all, strut. Confidence makes all the difference in the world.
