How high? How low?

Thank you all for your advice, and thank you Mr. Walkerk for your birthday wishes!

I now know for sure that I'm wearing my kilt correctly. Much obliged!

I will also be buying a UtiliKilt, but just for something to wear when I'm working on the carburetters of my Moto Guzzi.

OK, the sporran.. what do you mean by; "No belt when wearing a vest". ...Sorry, I'm a newbie.

The strap does have a buckle, but at it's ultimate hole, and with the chains crossed over it is still at my knees! I have removed two dozen links, and it still isn't right. I think I will take your corporate advice and lose the chain.

Your wife bought you your first kilt? Lucky guy!

Yep, that makes me lucky ay? I've wanted a kilt for years now. I was planning to get one when I finally get to go back to the homeland. But my wonderful wife gave me one for my 50th birthday. It seems it was a mammoth task, especially the machinations she went through to get my vital statistics. She's a wonderful woman my wife.

Thank you Mr. MacDougall. I will jettisoning the chain. You are not the first to say so.

What is a sporran hanger? Even before I know what it is I want one!

Ciao,

Steven

The belt referred to in this case is the one you wear around your waist, not the sporran belt.

I think I will take your corporate advice and lose the chain.

Stillwater Kilts is currently selling two grades of black leather sporran belts: The basic belt is priced at $10.95 and the premium belt goes for $28.00. See them here: http://stores.channeladvisor.com/Sti...ries/Sporrans/

RKilts sells a very nice looking and well-made braided sporran belt in brown or black for $35. See them here: http://www.rkilts.com/belts.htm

A sporran hanger is two straps that attach a sporran to a kilt belt. Here is the sporran hanger that USA Kilts sells (at the bottom of the page): http://www.usakilts.com/sporran_day.php

I reckon the sporran hanger is the way to go then, thanks for that.

Thanks again to you all for your welcome! I have to check out the rest of the site.

My kilt has an Irish tartan, so I hope that doesn't mean I can't stay!
Both my parents' families were originally from Ireland. Although they were born in London, as was I.

I'm now a naturalised Australian living in Melbourne, any other Ozzies here?

G'day and welcome!

I'm born and raised in Moonta, South Australia (Australia's Little Cornwall), and have lived in Sydney for almost 20 years.

My wife and I absolutley adore Melbourne, especially the Yarra Valley (all that scrumptious shiraz and delightful cheese!).

Cheers,

Troy

G'day and welcome!

Thanks mate!

I'm a Pom. I moved to Sydney (from London) over 3 decades ago when I was in my late teens. I moved from Sydney to Melbourne about 15 years ago. As I said before; I've had the operation, and I'm now an Ozzie!

Any more Ozzie kilt wearers here?

BTW, I really like the Cornish National Tartan (#1567). Have you used it in a kilt yet?
