Just go and make next step.

Hehe, I'd hate to cover up the artwork! Looks great, get outside!

thanks for everyone's input, it is much appreciated. I have a leather sporran strap but the sporran I am wearing in the photo doesn't have any way of attaching it. The back of the sporran only has two metal rings to attach a two piece sporran chain

That Maple Leaf look super. Just go! Every journey starts with a first step. Just do it! You're half way there.

You've been given some fine advice. I would suggest you get in the car drive to a quiet park and take a walk in your kilt.

Just be prepared to be ambushed by hyperventilating females who will appear randomly out of the bushes as you walk by, drawn by the

POWER

of the kilt.

Seriously, you look great.

I'm with Runewolf, if you're warm, let the tat show.

That is the curse of many modern sporran makers - they allow the wearer no choice by assuming that everyone is always going to be wearing a chain (or maybe a strap) with clips for those D rings. There are leather straps available which have clips and, under the circumstances, one of these would be better than the 'Dress' chain.

For a first time casual outfit, I think you have chosen very well, and you look confident enough to cope with anything, so you'll be fine. Whilst I agree with what has already been advised, I would add one small thing: if you are going to wear your hose rolled (or scrunched) down, I would recommend a thicker pair. Just for visual balance, you need a little more 'bulk' down there to avoid looking top heavy. At the moment, it is not easy to see where the boots finish and the hose start.

I hope I am not appearing to be critical - I'm trying to help!

Take care,
Ham.
