Leather sporran strap etiquette

[Guiness gets my Irish up]

As with lacing Ghillie brogues, it's fitting to keep in mind that Highland Dress is clothing, not costume.

Amen. I live in the very Deep South where a "good" pair of blue jeans (ones without holes or excessive fading) would probably pass for formal attire at most social gatherings. People wearing kilts are not seen here every day (hardly ever, really). I try to make sure that I'm "doing it right" so that folks don't confuse the way that I choose to dress with someone parading around in costume.
