Clean and neatly pressed. Leather straps and buckles should be clean and polished. Inside and outside aprons must be securely fastened by buckle and resting just above the half way mark of the knee cap. The hem should be even all the way around. The kilt pattern must be centered at the front of the body. The inside apron bottom edge must not hang below the outside apron edge.
Tip:
Do not pull your kilt buckles so tight that the front pattern is pulled to one side. The pattern should be vertically straight and centered.
To make sure your kilt is the proper length, the hem should just brush the ground when you are kneeling on both knees.
Your under garment should be a nice plain, dark color. (Red polka-dotted boxers are NOT a good idea.)
