I finally got to the post office to get my package from SportKilt. I got a Commando in digital camo, I also got a womens kilt skirt for my wife in the Nova Scotia tartan.

Keep in mind that I did not iron it yet, straight from the box to my hips.

My first time ever in a kilt

:

As you can see the Sportkilt badge is much smaller on this model. I'm also going to have to get a wider belt, the belt loops are HUGE. Also, am I wearing it properly? Should I hike it up or down at all? I will be wearing it out for the first time this Saturday to our yearly Celtic Bash (my favourite party of the year) I'm thinking I'm going to wear a black T-Shirt and either sandals or I have to go buy some boots.

My wife's new "skirt"

I will have some pics of the 2 of us next week

Congratulations on the new kilt, it looks good where it is, you could hike it up a bit if you wanted to but it's fine where it is.

Nice kilt, nice skirt, and very cool tattoos!

Welcome from Flint, Michigan!

Looks good! My one piece of advice, which was given to me when I donned my first UK, is that while many of us are used to wearing our T-shirts untucked with jeans, with a kilt it looks much better to tuck your shirt in.

Best regards,

Jake

Very nice, both kilt and leg tattoo! I would say go with the boots with heavy socks scrunched down, cool kilt casual.

Very nice!
Looking forward to the future photos and tells of your first day out.

Looks great on you! Welcome to the kilted world...

I have one of those Commandos and they are comfortable and handy. Love the pockets. I wear mine a little higher than you do here 'cause it helps the aprons hang evenly. Actually, I sewed an extra attachment point a couple of inches down to help keep the right side of my apron from hanging too low. This may not be as much of an issue with a camo kilt as you don't "see" the edges as well as on a colid color like I have. So I guess camo does work!

PS I have found that a 2-inch wide black nylon belt with a side-release buckle (basically a duty belt) works well with the Commando, it does have a wide waistband and loops.
