Kilt jackets in general are worn open, especially with a waistcoat.

Sporran is usually worn a few inches below your belt, or where the bottom of your belt would be, as a general rule of thumb

I never button my kilt jacket.

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?

Thank all of you who have posted here I think I have come away with a better understanding of how to wear the attire properly Thank you very much.
