I was thinking the same thing about the sporran. That's a very nice casual look you have there. I would have never guessed that nylon belts would look so good with a kilt. It really works.

agreed. A Stillwater nightstalker would be perfect for this outfit.

I know how military belts work.... How did you affix the buckle?
I really like the look.

Nice ensemble!
I agree with others who noted the sporran strap looks a bit wide. Just a plain heavy webbing but narrower would look a bit smoother in my opinion. Yes, and a Nightstalker would be nice but I like the "sporran" fine as is, everyone likes, um... different shapes and sizes so whatever is comfortable and functional. But I think you put it all together quite well!

Good for you Warwick,
I do so love pushing the envelope. That's a beautiful buckle. That's a great idea for a sporran. I'm so-so on the belt and strap but if you like it enjoy and be proud.
Let creativity reign!

like the belt but the sporran looks a lot like a camera case or a murse (man purse)

warwick, I like the whole thing. I especially like what you've done with the buckle.
You can play around with it by swapping out any individual component, but the ensemble works for me. If you like it, by all means wear it. Congrats for original thinking and extra points for style.
If the sporran gets in your way at any point (walking, sitting, driving), you can simply slide it around. It can sit on the thigh or at your side. That's the beauty of a sporran strap.
The proportions of the belts and the sporran look good to me. That's a long kilt worn at high rise, so you have a good-sized "canvas" to work in.
The sporran itself looks like it would be very practical in use. After comfort, that will be the deciding factor: does it hold your stuff, and hold it conveniently? Use it for a while, and you can make an informed choice when you go shopping again.
