How high? How low?

[Bugbear]

Welcome. I would suggest wearing the traditional-like kilt at the higher level. You will want the bottom of the kilt to be about mid knee level or even at the top of the knee.

I do not wear UK kilts, so I can't comment on those.

The sporran on a trad kilt will be worn about three to four fingers below the bottom of the belt if you were to wear a regular width kilt belt. It can bee a little lower or higher if that is comfortable to you.

Hope that helps a little and enjoy the forum.

Dear Mr Crocker,

Thank you for your reply, it was very helpful. It seems that I am wearing my kilt correctly, but wearing my sporran a tad too low. I have already adjusted the chain, so I will now adjust the strap a notch or two.

I'd like to hear other opinions. Any UK wearers out there? I'd be interested in your thoughts also.

Best Regards,

Steven

Welcome and happy birthday!

Sounds like you're wearing you kilt properly. Utilikilts are designed to be worn lower than traditional kilts. There are numerous examples in the "Show us your pics" section of the forum (now unlocked, but go to the bottom of the screen to change the "Display Options" to show threads to "Last month" or greater.) You won't look good wearing a traditional kilt around your hips. (You now have an excuse to get a Utilikilt, too! )

The sporran is usually worn about three finger widths below the belt buckle. (No belt when wearing a vest, but in the same relative position.) The strap should have a buckle in the back for adjustment. How long are the chains, anyway?

There are now 160+ pages in the "Kilt Do's and Dont's" thread to enjoy. Have a look!

Your wife bought you your first kilt? Lucky guy!
