    The vendors here would be more than happy to help you choose a belt and sporran. Lots of variety in terms of style and price point. You can get attractive, good quality accessories without breaking the bank. A couple of the suppliers have recently come out with practical, value-priced sporrans in the last few months that would go well with your kilt. Looks good by the way.

    Just don't wear a lot of metal things on collar or shoulders and the Navy types will shut up -- despite the black-&-tan undress uniforms. (I don't like them; not nautical enough. Looks like wardroom stewards instead of deck sailors.) As will those Navy types in their peachy new digital blue camo, which seems to be worn on the assumption that even if you do fall overboard, you're not going to be easy to see among the waves anyway without a flashing light or something.

    In what seems like another life, my first naval duty station was a multiservice "A" school in Monterey CA -- when the Army still had a khaki uniform order. Until I learned to watch for just how much metal was winking from the army guys' shoulders -- officers have more, plus the metal on the cap -- my right hand kept going twitch, twitch, twitch. Navy all-khaki is worn by chief petty officers and above.

    Nope, no kilts, not even then, not there.
