I've gotten two kilts from SW, both standards. I am a bit on the shorter side (5'6"), and the 24" is just about 3 inches too long. I ended up doing my own hem job, and it didn't look too bad. I wear it to church, wore it to my sons christening, the bars/pubs, everywhere.

It took me about 3 hrs to hem it up using a generous amount of thread.

Also, I asked Jerry from SW if I could order one about 2, 3" shorter and he said that's no problem, just ask when you order it. I'd assume it would take a little longer, due to being a custom size. Overall, it's up to you, but I think the standard or economy kilt would be the best choice, especially for the prices.
