The great kilt is usually worn over a tunic length shirt and secured with a wide belt - you might find that wearing a leather waistcoat is not going to work well.

I associate brooches on the shoulder with the small fly plaid. To hold the corner of a great kilt I used a length of cord, made a noose at one end for the corner of the fabric and then tied the other end to my belt buckle.

The fabric was repurposed into a dressing gown quite quickly - all those folds were for ever getting snagged on door handles and furniture.
