Criticism Wanted

[Nighthawk]

You know, everyone else has said all there is to say. So I'll just say two things- Get a tan on those legs (they're almost as white as mine, which is an accomplishment in itself!) and

And one more thing... I want one of those so badly, but they ran out of my size before I could get one... I'm jealous. Nice kilt!

[Monkey@Arms]

OK, I can see you now! You'll never get us all to agree. I think the length is fine, if that's where you want to wear it. (Mid knee to top of knee is all within the "accepted" range.) I'll second the higher belt, and scrunched vs. rolled socks advice. Frankly, if you didn't change a thing, you'd be looking fine for the festival. Enjoy.

Best regards,

Jake

I tend to agree with most. The recommended position of the selvage is mid knee to top of the knee.

The belt should be higher, and is usually covers the top buckles.

I'm not a fan of mounting the sporran on the belt. If the sporran pulls the belt down, you might want to try a sporran strap.

I started with a strap and switched to hanging from the belt (with a leather hanger). For those of us who are larger (particularly if we have little or no waist), the sporran on a strap tends to sink lower down than it should. So, the sporran hanger is fine.

I took the advice from the fine members of this forum, and my first kilted outing went smashingly well. I received several compliments on my kilt, including one from a Scottish gentleman who loved the Lamont weathered. I even posed for two pictures. I went both days, Friday and Saturday, and even got to make an official appearance at my Clan's tent. On to San Antonio for the Highland games in April!

I'd also have the belt a bit higher on the Kilt. and socks like the others said. I'm not quite sure if I can see a Kilt Pin?

[CelticSire]

So, belt higher, kilt a bit lower, proper hose (which I'm hoping will be here tomorrow, they're on order) and scrunched, not rolled. There is a kilt pin, it's a bit hard to see. Oh, and the chain for my sporran was too short. I'm making a proper strap, but it's not finished yet. What else, lads?

[ChattanCat]

The power of the kilt will do the rest!

[McNulty]

The hose/socks could be scrunched down OR get a pair of khaki hose form WPG and use the flashes that you probably got with the kilt from SWK. Otherwise you look great. AND welcome from the Front Range!

You may, and I say may here, because it might be cold, want to find either a leather jacket which is short enough to be worn with your kilt, or convert a sport coat to go with your kilt so you stay warmer. I think you look great as is. Just a bit of advice for staying toasty.
