I finally received my adjusted kilt back from Sportkilt (Hunting tartan as they had nothing in Ross) and shot a few pics of myself in various styles. Until my traditional and Scottish made kilt gets here in April, this will be my casual kilt for now and then.Do things look right? I'm sure I have forgotten some things but as this is going to be for casual, around town wear and not formal gatherings, I played a little with the "necessary" items such as a true kilt belt and buckle and hose. The belt is a 2.25" from Ross (ironic) and the hose are from my wife's collection,obtained at TJ Maxx for a few dollars. I just cannot make myself spend $15-30 for one pair of hose. The shirt and sweater are from my regular closet and the shoes a Goodwill special for $12. The sporran is a $10 Amazon deal but I must admit very well made.

Of course, I'm my own worse critic and know it is not a traditional nor tailored fit kilt. But for what I paid and my objective, I didn't think it too awful bad. Now to hear from your learned kilt wearers how I can improve on a budget. Also, the kilt is a large from Sportkilt tailored down to fit nicely with room for weight if needed (hopefully not) and the length at mid knee.

Enough of my rambling. What do you think? Please spare no criticism. :-D
