Opinion on Kilt Length
Hello-I received this off the wrack kilt as a gift. Curious what say you regarding the length. Thanks in advance

Seems OK to me. Could be a tad shorter, but not bad.

It's supposed to be about that long. The standard is just somewhere between just touching the top of the knee to mid-knee.
There's a funny joke about kilt length... but you'll have to read that elsewhere.

looks about right--mine, ahem... seem to hang a bit longer than that ;-) (see kilt-length joke)
Just 'cuz I'm a stubby guy who doesn't always pay to get the inch or 2 taken up with my less expensive kilts.
But your's looks right--right at mid knee. Off the rack and it fits ya'! Say, yer not braggin' are ya?

Thanks, everyone.
I thought it looked alright also. I wasn't sure so I sent it to a vendor of kilts as I want to order a kilt and needed their opinion. They responded they thought it was about an inch too long. I'm guessing they were using the top of the knee standard of military length, perhaps...
I'm wearing it about 1 inch above the navel. Sound about right?
