New Uniform

[A Lenape Scot]

Hello rabble,

Its been a while since I have posted here due to being so busy between joining a pipe band and being a park ranger. I play the pipes for them too when needed.

I was accepted into the Fort Smith Fire Department Pipes and Drums Corps in January and finally received all my uniform items today. I have been wearing kilts since I was 20 but nothing like this. I feel that I am not wearing it correctly. The belt feels like it may not be in the correct place and I have to blouse the back of the doublet over the belt to get it to settle into the belt hooks. Is it too loose? If so can it be altered? Also, where should the belt sit? Above the doublet or below it? I also do not know the correct height to wear the sporran with this doublet either. It is certainly not my favorite thing to put up a picture of my self to be judged but the folks on here seem helpful rather than judgmental and I want to look good on parade. I am posting one picture of me with the pipes as well in case I need to change my posture. Any advice you can give will be appreciated.
