    You wear it well! And I'm digging your choice of style with your beard!

    I would echo the others on the jacket being a little long for a kilt jacket (kilt jackets are much shorter than Saxon jackets), as well as not putting the sporran chain through the belt keepers.

    I don't know much about Sport kilts, but it seems to me that your belt is pretty consistently riding a couple of inches lower than one would normally see it. Does the Sport kilt have belt loops that make it ride there? Or is it just slipping down due to the weight of the sporran hanging from its keepers? I would think it would be better up toward the top of the kilt (covering the Sport kilt logo).

    Other than that, I think you've a good handle on wearing the kilt well. Looks great!

    Everything's looking good to me. I wouldn't agree that the jacket is too long, the sporran is in exactly the right place in relation to it. If anything you may be wearing your kilt too high on the waist which gives this effect - might look better with a waist coat. Also your sporran strap shouldn't really be through the belt loops (although I did wear mine in that fashion at one time because I don't have hips to hang it on). All in all you're looking good and doing the kilt proud.
    The Kilt is my delight !

    I don't agree. The kilt height looks great to me. The jacket is a bit long. I do agree that a waistcoat/vest would look spectacular. Other than the other things already mentioned I think you look awesome. It's funny how many people start with sport kilts. (myself included)
    Just wait till you get your first wool kilt if you like wearing a sport kilt your going to go bonkers wearing a heavy weight wool kilt.
