    New SWK "Nightstalker"

    SWK "Nightstalker" tartan (standard model.)


    Kilt #2 for me. I love it. I think I may actually have it brought up a wee bit, even if it requires a hem. It's about the middle of my knee here. None-the-less, this is a pretty sweet kilt. The first thing I noticed was how "wooly" it feels even though it's not actually wool. The seat seems awfully thick, but that's ok I suppose. Nice garment for short money.

    (oh, and my boots are a bit embarassing upon further inspection... a bit dirty!)

    Wow, you must be long legged.

    Looks like it'd be a lot easier to hike it up on your waist just a bit.

    Put the belt buckle right on your navel. It *looks* like you're wearing it a bit low, which would cause the edge to sit at mid-knee or even lower, depending.

    I'm 5' 11", and a 24" kilt is just about perfect for me.

    Well, actually I'm only right at 6'. I was thinking (after looking at the picture) that it didn't look quite as high as it felt. But, I also fluffed the tshirt over the top of the waist too.


    *update*

    Thank you Caradoc! I'm awfully new to this, and I guess wearing somehthing that high just doesn't feel natural. But, after taking your advice and placing the belt appropriately the bottom sits right at the top of the knee.

    The kilt looks great. I have the same model, and its one of my favorites.

    What I cant figure out though, is how you chose your username...

    Nice kilt! The legs, though, look a bit bare. Ink shortage?

    Great kilt! I'm waiting for the new ones so I can order one. I love the subtle dark colors.
