It might be that the kilt itself is fine, but that two things are making me worry.

1) people seem to wear kilts down to the bottom of their knee caps now - which I personally would find annoying as I like my shorts to hit about mid knee or higher

and

2) I might just be a little self-conscious as this is my first kilt. Normally I just do what I want, and I don't worry about what others think, but I am a bit nervous about all of this. Don't get me wrong, I am not a jerk or anything, but I don't really care to live my life always worried about what others think. Be kind to one another, follow the law, and then live how you want to live, and I'll live how I want to live. I've always kinda marched to a different drummer, which is funny, because I voluntarily joined the very regimented life of a military man for 8 years. Yeah, I'm a walking contradiction, walking in a kilt now!
