Glad to see that you put the sporran on AFTER the belt so that you can easily move the sporran to one side if you need to get out out of the way or even remove it without having to remove the belt.
Great accurate and comprehensive video. My first kilt arrived from England a few days ago; the only missing accessory, for now, the shoes but I'll get them soon. 👍
Thanks. I'm 65 with Cancer. I'm half Scottish and half French. My Dad was very proud of his back ground. I plan on being put to rest in formal a formal Kilt and I want to wear an everyday/office kilt outfit(s) as well. I need suggestions as time is getting short. Thank you my brother
@Sir Kyushu Thanks but I've made peace with the illness and I'm fine. Now I just have to take care of things I've been putting off for years. Thank you for your support
The number one priority in wearing a kilt is putting it on at the right height. So this dude is WRONG. It DOES matter where it sits on the hips! Consider that the kilt was made to fit in a certain way, and if it isn't worn as the tailor intended, it's not going to be comfortable and it's going to look and feel crap! When a tailor measures you for a fitted kilt, they get you to kneel on the floor, back straight. They then measure you from below the lowest rib to the floor. That's the "drop". This is the most important measurement and for a person of average 5'8" in height, that should come in around 23-1/2" or so. Once you have your kilt, you're going to wear it as the tailor measured you for it, so kneel UPRIGHT in front of a mirror and set the kilt so the hem just barely touches the floor- THAT'S WHY THE TAILOR MEASURED YOU THAT WAY and it's how the military teach soldiers to wear the kilt. The garment was designed to fit you that way!
We shall them stockings in the Northeast a d New England. Since knee breaches are out of fashion and trousers or pants are in, only we northerners still wear stockings(wool usually) to fend off jack frost. If people can still wear kilts, I say we Yankees bring back knee breaches, wigs and tricorn hats. Men will be dressed hilariously again.
I never forget, in secondary school, a student laughingly talked about Scottish menwearing kilts in history class. The history teacher gave the following answer: "In the humid and foggy mountains, trousers get wet and make you very uncomfortable, while the kilt provides comfortable movement, hardly gets wet and dries quickly. Scots see the kilt as a symbol of bravery as opposed to femininity."
I think the leather loop just broke is all, probably from having cheap ghillie brogues and lacing way too tightly, but I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt
Im not scottisch but Ive learned that the patterns have meaning/that they belong to certain families. One website told me that theres certain tartans are used for commercial use and even if they might be connected to a certain name, it doesnt seem to an issue
Absolutely, wear the tartan you prefer, respectfully, and just learn something about the clan it's associated with. Otherwise, go for the various universal tartans.
I hope he plays the pipes well. Brogues: three twists in front five in back. Belt or vest, not both. Velcro Flashes? They make knit ones that you tie. Sgian Dubh means "Dark" or "Hidden" knife. It was removed from it's concealed location in your jacket, and placed visibly in the sock as a demonstration of trust. Never-the-less put it in the sock on the side of your dominant hand. Scottish trust can be very fickle.
@@raydearie9805 as a scot, you can wear whatever you want under your kilt. there is no set law. When the british army introduced the style of kilt that is popular today, soldiers were requried to wear undergarments
@@darkelemental who is talking about laws and army regulations??? its just a popular phrase in scotland "a true scotsman wears nothing under his kilt" its just a saying you dont have to go quoting law and stuff its not that deep bro 😂
I'd never wear one (French descent) but regardless, if I wore one I'd be giving validation to this awful idea that "if a man wants to wear a skirt, it HAS to be a kilt!" The reason they say this is because to an extent, "THE" kilt is already part of people's mentality. It's things new to them that upset the conformist faction. And if "THE" kilt didn't already exist, no Scot today anywhere on Planet Earth would invent it, because innovation is always opposed! Meantime in apparel, women get the entire playing field and no one slams them over wanting variety!

Don’t gatekeep Scottish culture. People of all nations can wear a kilt as long as it is done with respect and out of the appreciation of our culture. It lets people learn and appreciate our culture so it is passed down and doesn’t die out.
Sorry the kilt dressware is a disaster. They should phase out the fashion and use a male dressware either way. It's a skirt for females and they shouldn't be sold to males because it is very strange and weakening. It goes against marriage and who cares about ancient types of dressware anyway. It's no different to a man wearing a brassiere for no reason.

You missed one of the lace loops on the right shoe. The lowest one.

Yes they can ! I am Scottish and wear the kilt for special occasions. It is a very smart look.
