    Looking at the photo above I think you'd look even smarter if you tightened the kilt down (a lot) and raised it to touch (as it should) your ribcage. The pattern is intended to be worn very high up and fit very snugly (why some even feel that they are too loose unless they are "regimental"). Pull the kilt up to your rib-cage, suck in your stomach and hold your breath while you tighten down the inner (left) belt (really tight). Now close the right belts. You should not be able to move or shift the kilt unless you suck in your gut, hold your breath and tug! Try it and then look in the mirror and see the difference.

    I do that and have since the pic was taken. I wear the straps tightened to the last holes. I just haven't taken any recent pics. The WPG kilts are certainly great cold weather kilts and there's enough wool there to knit a sheep.

    That one had me laughing for a while... Just the image of a nice scottish woman with a semi-bald sheep on one side and a unravelling kilt on the other....
