OK, questions about kilt length. Several times on this forum, people have talked about guys wearing kilts too long, so, in ya'lls opinion where should the kilt lay across the knees.

I am in the process of ordering a 5 yard wool kilt, and my measurements don't make much sense to me. I own a tank (more on this later) and when I actually measured it for the first time (just now) have discovered that it is 25" long. My stillwater is 24 1/4" (supposed to be 24"). Now both of these hit me in the bottom half of my knee, which again seems to be against the popular wisdom here. However, my tank was an ex-hire that I bought from Thomas Gordon in Glasgow, and was fitted to me by one of the kiltmakers, so I have always assumed that that was the right length.

Now measuring I actually get 23" to the middle of my knee, but I wear 23" UKs and they hit in the lower half of my knee as well, but also hang about 2" lower than my trad since they only come to my waist.

Finally last coment to those who think SW's are too long for normal sized guys. I'm just shy of 5'9".

So what suggestions does anyone have?
