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>.

Thoughts on suppliers

I have been putting serious thoughts into having a kilt made. As we have been unable to pin down a particular clan affiliation due to records available. I was thinking I would have a US Navy tartan used. Wanting a higher quality than a “G-K”, who would you suggest as a quality manufacturer?

I am considering a Stripe Pleated 9yd wool or wool blend. The kilt would be for ren-fests as well as semi daily. I know the US Navy tartan would not fall into the traditional highland medieval timeframe but I’m not keen on the idea of wearing a tartan of a clan of which I do not belong.

Again, I’m not looking for the tourist level of quality. I’m looking for something that I can be proud of and wear for many years.

Thoughts, comments, or otherwise?

Kilt belt

I’m new to kilts y’all so go easy on me. I bought a kilt belt but I have no idea how I’m supposed to fasten it. It doesn’t have a buckle just a metal loop. The inside is lined with soft Velcro from the ‘buckle’ end to about 7-8 inches from the pointed end where it changes to the hard plastic Velcro loop material.

Any help is appreciated

Kilt socks causing itchy legs

I have 2 pairs of hoses, one from amazon and a cotton one from usakilts, both causes my legs to itch (to be fair other socks do this too), is there any sock material that wouldn't cause my legs to itch? Also, what other socks besides kilt hoes can one wear in non-formal settings, I like to experiment with the kilt but don't want to disrespect the heritage of the wardrobe.
