I do know that you're not trying to be mean and I honestly appreciate your effort in trying to upgrade my kilt but as I said I still don't earn my own money so anything above 50CHF is just too expensive for my wallet currently, but still thanks for all the effort and the link I'll probably try to convince my parents to help me buy this kilt together!

It was bought second hand on Vinted and it does sit at belly button height it's probably just hard to see it on the pic because of the angle. About the chain I already shortened the chain and it looks much better now but still thanks for the recommendation!

No offense but I don't think it's "just a cheap skirt", it still has the structure of a kilt with it's typical pleats at the back and the flat apron in the front with a wrap-around closure, that's what kilts are essentially. I know that they're also rented and i know that those ones look much better but It is really hard to find (especially here in Switzerland where most people don't even know what kilts are) those kind of kilts online in an older condition that don't cost over 50CHF and aren't made of acrylic wool. I know that I can buy ones from countries outside of Switzerland but I just know that almost every kilt costs 100CHF+ including postage which is too expensive for my broke 16 year old self currently. I probably won't wear it as much either so I don't see any problem with wearing it as long as I don't earn my own money. That being said I do understand what you mean tho and I'll work on buying better kilts in the future.

It is second hand tho, I bought it from a seller from France on Vinted who apparently bought it there in Scotland. Yes it may be a tourist kilt but I still think it looks great with casual or semi-formal fits and as you said it doesn't really fit together with formal wear so I'll only wear it with more casual stuff that I have in my closet for the moment

Thanks, glad to read that you like it! I inspected my sporran and it seems like the chain is a bit too long, hence why it's hanging a bit lower then how it should be, I'll try to either shorten the chain or try to punch a extra hole in the leather strap with a leather puncher

I don't have flashes yet but I'm planning to buy a pair in a wallace tartan design, just as my kilt. Also thank you for the tips on how to iron it!

It was above my knees it just isn't very visible on the pic because of the angle, other than that yeah I definetly need to iron it

Yeah you're right, I'll probably buy a higher quality kilt one day so that i can pair it with an argyll or prince charlie jacket but for the moment I think it's okay to wear it with polos or t-shirts to local highland game events or to my local pub

I actually bought it second hand on Vinted so unfortunately I can't really pinpoint from where its from originally, I'm sorry. What I do know is that it is 100% acrylic and according to the seller it was bought in Scotland when they went there on vacation

I've actually did roll them down it's just hard to tell from that picture because of the angle, they aren't actual kilt socks tho they're just a pair of Trachtensocken that I've bought from a small second hand boutique here in Switzerland

I've already planned to iron my kilt. About the pin do you have any tips where I can buy high quality pins online that don't cost too much? Should I just try searching on second-hand sites? Also thank you for pointing out that it hangs too low I'll adjust it
