    To USA Kilts: My USA kilt; how's it look?

    Hello USA Kilts. Not sure if I ever sent y'all a pic of me in my Bruce Ancient wool tartan kilt and shirt I ordered from y'all a year or so ago. But here it is. A friend told me it was too short. What do y'all think? I might also have it a bit too buckled up or too narrow.

    Hard to tell at that picture angle, the kilt should fall to the top of your knee.. (At least to my eye)

    I don't think it looks too short. Not wearing kilt hose changes the perspective as well. Is it a USAK Casual?

    I don't think it looks bad. The length of your kilt is (to a degree) a personal preference. Through the years it has gone from 1" or 2" ABOVE the kneecap to the bottom of the knee by some people today. To me, the middle to the top of the kneecap look "right".

    Rocky and Mikilt, yes it's a USA Kilt. Not casual I don't think. All I remember is it is Bruce "Ancient" wool tartan.
