I could get the clan crest badge for the front of the sporran,and go with a different kind of pin, Wanted to throw in a touch of tradition somewhere. Thanks for the ideas.

Have to agree with Panache about the kilt pin. Here's a page with one that might be to your liking:

Add a black UM92 and you'll be good to go. We're looking forward to the photos.

Shoot us a picture. It all sounds like a good outfit to me. I always wear nylon for carrying. doesn't hold the moisture in. O'Neille

Welcome from Carlisle England--I think getting you outfits together takes trial & error. Post pictures & you will get different opinions

OK, scratch the shoes. They look much better online than they do in the store.

Looks like it would go together pretty well.

I'm cautious about the belt, though. A fair amount of metal on there to snag the material.

Take a look at these from Blackhawk:

or for a "heavy duty" look:

It would also go better with the nylon sporran.

Check this out! The army standing orders for Scottish Dress uniforms... This dress order is "SD1" (Scottish Dress 1)



Get a button up kahki shirt to go with it, and it will look fine, no, GREAT.

SD2 Scottish Dress 2 (Scottish General Duty Dress)
SD3 Scottish Dress 3 (Mess Dress)
SD4 Scottish Dress 4 (Mess Dress - White Jacket)
SD5 Scottish Dress 5
SD6 Scottish Dress 6

I've been thinking about doing this myself, being I have one of those military belts as well... I think this would make an interesting themed look for the Highland games, say a group of guys... maybe pipers going for a casual military look...?

I agree with Panache, too. Everythin gyou've got thereis kind of "edgy...non-traditional. So why not get a non-traditional kilt pin, eh? Ont he other hand, if you just really want that clan kilt pin, then go for it.

I use a military belt, as in SD1, with my DPM kilt - even though it is not a military design fabric.

It works well - and they last a long time, mine was army surplus in 1969 and has been used for caving, climbing, sailing and just general everyday. It was black when I got it and is now light grey, but otherwise is as good as ever, but I think I need to pay some attention to the metal work - the one in the picture does rather put mine to shame.

Standard kilt belt buckles can be easily fitted to the nylon pistol belts, they are both 2.25".

I have a black-finish celtic buckle on my nylon pistol belt.

Good lord, that SD3 mess dress with the red jacket ...Give Santa his jacket back!
