First time in a kilt - Questions

[ronstew]

On his way out of town, my father dropped his Highland garb at my house. He didn't have time to help me put it on, so I had to muddle through this evening:



I have many questions, but can only remember a few of them now.

1. What is supposed to hold up the kilt? My belly?

2. The bottom edge of the kilt is supposed to be mid knee?

3. I gather you don't wear the belt with the Prince Charlie?

4. Where does the belt go? Does it help hold up the kilt or just sit there decorativenly?

5. Is that grey jacket what we call an Argyl?

6. What sort of tie should go with the grey jacket?

7. Where and how do I wear the sgian dubh?

8. Is there anything obviously wrong with these pictures?

I think Dad's kilt is a few inches too big. Even with the straps as tight as they go, the kilt dropped four inches if I laughed. And the PC sleeves are too long. But mannnnnn, does the rig look good.
