New Kilt Wearer Question
so when i wear my sporran chain it should go through the small black loops that are sewed in the inner side of the kilt and the belt goes through the more traditional belt loops. is this correct?

The black loops on the inside are for hanging the kilt.
I stopped using the belt loops and just put the sporran strap/chain over my kilt belt. If you wear the chain belt alot it may damage the kilt. I use a strap and chain maybe once every two months.

should i look into buying a leather sporran belt/strap?
i heard that the chain will wear out the fabric.

I prefer the leather straps. Not only to protect the kilt. I like the look of a leather strap, just not a chain type of guy.

YES! There is a X Marker out there who makes them (Cavscout, but I don't know if he is still taking orders). Otherwise get one from your kilt supplier. Or do what I did and go to Target, look in Women's Accessories, and get a 3/4" wide plain black belt in the right length (works great, looks fine, but doesn't have the cool looking clasps and fittings that Cavscout's have though).

One more question...does it ruin the pleats to sit too long in your kilt? I have my kilt for my wedding and my fiance gets worried i am going to cruch the pleats. can't piss off the boss. i've got really expensive pictures to take post wedding and during reception.
is there anywhere i can get a list or is there a site i can find how to assemble my kilt outfit? (pins, belt, sporran, hose, shoes, etc.?)

A search on the word wedding should get you the info you need. There's quite a few wedding pics floating around too. Just do a sweep when you sit and your pleats will be fine.
Remember, there are no "dumb" questions so ask away.
