Looking for feedback on the fitment of my kilt.

This is an off-the-rack wool kilt that I bought to wear to the renaissance festival (hence the non-traditional belt). I'll probably buy a few more off-the-rack kilts and maybe some non-traditional (PV sport kilts or utility) kilts for casual wear.

That said, I'd like to invest in a traditional, made to fit kilt for more formal events but will have to measure at home and order online.

Is this around the correct length for me? To clarify, the top of the kilt is at my navel and my hose come up to just under my kneecaps (yes, I know I'm built like Gru from Despicable Me).

I'm also wide open to any other criticism, feel free to roast away.

Finally, I'm looking for recommendations for US based kilt makers. A proper Scottish made kilt would be awesome, but shipping would probably double the price given the <gestures everywhere>.

Thank you to everyone that answered my first question.

The general consensus is that the sporran is your only "pocket" and utility style Kilts are the work of Satan.

My second question is "sporran chain or sporran straps?" Is one more formal than the other? Is it a matter of taste? Is it just personal preference?

I have lots of questions but I'll ask the most important one first.

How do you deal with no pockets? Do you just cram all your shit into your sporran? I've only worn a great kilt at renaissance festivals where no one bats an eye at having a sporran plus a few pouches on your belt and maybe a "satchel" (it's not a purse, it's a utility bag).

I've recently bought a modern kilt that I'd like to start wearing occasionally but I can't see how a day sporran can handle all the stuff that I usually carry distributed among my pants pockets.

How do you view bands like Knorkator?

I'm an American that lived in Germany as a child. I frequently listen to German music because I rarely get the opportunity to practice speaking German (mostly Neue Deutsche Härte, some industrial). I've recently found some new-to-me bands like Knorkator, The Butcher Sisters and WBTBWB. They're talented, but are they seen as legit musicians. Or are they viewed more as novelty acts like we see Weird Al, or Lonely Island or Flight of the Conchords?
