    Sir Sean and his separated flashes



    Kilt too low, waistcoat too short, and the evil waistbelt-under-the-waistcoat thing (this man should be wearing a kilt at least two inches longer)



    This kilt appears to be the proper length for this guy but worn a couple inches too low (at least there's no waistbelt!)



    About sporran height, one thing I see on posed photographs using models used by Highland Dress makers is the sporran worn far too high; the knob at the top of the sporran is often nearly touching the belt buckle



    In the old days, even in the military, sporrans were often worn lower than we usually do today; note the distance between the top of the sporran and the belt buckle (I would think that the Pipe Major of The Black Watch would wear his kit how he deemed proper)



    Hard to beat the classic elegance here (well it's Royalty, it should be classically elegant!)
