How's he doing?

[Shanntarra]

I while back I asked the question fo shirt tucked, or un tucked. I also found out the rogue was wearing his kilt too low. This past weekend we went out in 100 degree weather and him in his McDonald kilt. He now understood why ladies like skirts in the summer months. That aside I think he has improved his look. BTW we did convert one of his friends to a kiltie that weekend. I'm making him a matching Khaki casual kilt starting next week.

So, is he wearing his kilt "correctly" now?

its hard to tell from the angle of the image ....but it still looks too low down on his waist

Might still be a little low on the waist. Everyone's different, but I like to be able to feel my navel just below the belt buckle.

It's hard to tell in the photo, but it might be a little long too.

I have found, at least on the East Coast, that having ones shirt tucked in or out is almost a regional kind of thing. It seems most Southern Gentlemen prefer to tuck in their shirts, while their Northern Cousins like their shirttails out. As to the Kilt, I concur in that you still seem to be wearing it low.

It seems with most people, they cover their belly button with the belt. It looks like the belt is below his, making the kilt cover his knees a bit. It also could be the angle.

With the greatest respect, the honest answer is, no. If, and it is his choice after all, if, he wants to be somewhere near "correct" the bottom of the kllt needs to be no lower than the centre of the knee, to the top of the knee would be better. Try moving the kilt higher and don't worry where the top of the kilt ends up.

Actually his belt buckle is right at his belly button. When I made his casual khaki kilt I found he had a 20 inch drop. The kilt may just be a little too long (2-3 inches) for him.

Oh well he may just have an excuse to buy a new kilt.

Thats the way I look at it, the bottom is where it is, and where the top winds up is where it winds up.

The shoes.....classic.

I have to agree here, as well. And, after all, that aproach has a historical precident to go with it, as kilts used to be made selvage to selvage(on hand woven, single width cloth), regardless of how tall the gentleman in question was. If the fellow was not particularly tall, the top of the kilt could well come up over his floating ribs.

Also, being, for the first 24 or so years of my life, a gentleman with a bit of extra armor around my midsection, I can tell you that kilts can sometimes fit such geltlemen differently than than they do gentlemen with less armor(see attached picture for what I'm speaking of and how I wore my kilts). With that in mind, may I say that, judging from the attached picture and all belly button notions aside, to achieve a more conventional effect, he might think of wearing his kilt about 4(+ or-) inches higher, therefor helping his kilt to fall at a more conventional length. He'll likely find that he's more comfortable, when wearing his kilt higher, as the kilt and belt will not need to be as tight, in order to stay in place.

Again, though, it's all about what the wearer is comfortable with; at the end of the day, that's all that matters.
