    Kilt a bit on the long side. stuff added Advice please

    Hello, I have a Gordon highlander's regimental kilt. It is a wonderfully made kilt and it is quite old, something along the lines of 68 years. The thing about this kilt is that it is a bit on the long side for me. Instead of falling to the middle of my knee, it falls to the bottom of my knee. It measures as having a 28" drop, and the drop I should have is about a 26 inch or so. This has not stopped me from wearing it, mind you, I was just wondering if it is a bad Idea to wear a kilt that is that long.
    Thanks for the advice guys. After further review, I misused the word drop, I should have used overall length. I am haveing a hard time adding the pics. There are some things I need to have done to the kilt, like have it proffessionally pressed, and so on. I am having a hard time figuring out how to post pics. How do you do it?
    I have a picture of me wearing this kilt as the main pic in my public profile. The problem is that the pic is small and it is sideways. If anybody can help me figure out how to post pics, it would be greatly appreciated.
    I tried wearing the kilt at the bottom of the rib cage, and found that the selvege is about one centimeter shy of the bottom of the knee. I still cant post pics.
