Congrats on the two kilts, you chose two of the better looking tartans too.
I'd like to offer some advice, if I may. Sometime soon you may want to invest in a leather sporran strap and replace the chain strap. The reason being that the chain can cause some damage to the tartan material over time (rubbing). Sporran straps aren't expensive (Stillwater Kilts sells to different types) and there are many here who have made their own from leather dog leashes, leather bag straps, and some (including myself) who have made them from scratch - items from a leather craft store.
Other than that, you're looking good (the boots go great with the kilt) and well on your way to a kilted life. Good on you!

Congrats on your first kilts. My first were also Stillwater (Black Watch and then Saffron). I've been very happy with mine.

Right On!
I'll second that, especially since the kilt is not wool it will show the chafing even faster. I only use a chain for formal occasions any more.
