    And because my Dear Hubby Dragon didn't specify, no, he doesn't have a waistcoat. I told him I had never seen an X-marker post a picture with a buttoned jacket, but nooo, he didn't listen to me.

    Sorry I'm going to slightly hi-jack this. I have a 2 button braemar tweed jacket no weskit. So I wouldn't do any buttons up? this is what I'm getting from the replies.
    My appologies to dragon McMurdo. But why start a new thread.

    It is usual`to leave your jacket unbuttoned. However, if you are outdoors and its freezing, blowing a gale and pouring with rain, then, well, do the buttons up!

    I do button my jackets (esp. if not wearing a vest.) This is a "hold over" from YEARS of wearing suits almost "daily" IMHO, the jacket is buttoned, except when "relaxed" or sitting. (unbuttoned is casual among my peers) When wearing a vest then unbuttoned is usual.

    How are you doing Puffer? Don't forget you are talking Scots Highland attire here, not "Saxon suits and jackets". With Highland attire, we generally leave the jacket unbuttoned with or without a waist coat. I hope you don't mind me gently pointing that out?

    According to Thompson, the top of the sporran should be about one hand (4 inches) from the top edge of the kilt.

    This is about where I wear mine, as I find it the most comfortable position. However, as I've inherited my waistcoats and haven't had them converted to my size (I hardly ever wear a waistcoat, and am probably too mean to get ones made or these adjusted), when I wear one I let the sporran hang lower which I find annoying.

    Perhaps I should spend some money?
