On colors and such

[jmercier]

I think it looks fine. I do a really bad job of matching colors myself, so you're doing better than I do. As for the sporran belt, I myself tend to wear a thin leather belt with ~6 inches of large link chain on both ends, it doesnt cut at the kilt like an all chain belt, and looks good with just about any sporran, formal or casual.

I've got 3 different belts i wear with my kilts, one is the standard 2.25 inch wide with the flat plate buckle, one is just a 1.5 inch wide leather belt like i'd wear with normal pants, I usualy wear this with my non-tartan kilts, and the last is a 3 inch wide ranger-style belt, which I cant decide if it looks more formal or less formal than the 'standard' kilt belt. I've just always liked ranger-belts.

I've only been wearing kilts for a year, so that's the basis of my opinion as I differ with others here who present themselves quite handsomely.

If you like the belt buckle, keep wearing it. I wear big buckles like yours with all my kilts. Heck, I used to wear big buckles like that with my blue jeans. So counting you and I, there are at least two of us that don't mind wearing a nice buckle casually.

Hey you are from the area. Another member up for a kilt night in the Boston area?
