How high is too high?

[Paul Henry]

I've read many a discussion on length. Above, mid or below the knee. I think we all know where that discussion currently rests.


My question is height above the waist or navel. Some disagree with kilts sitting too low, like jeans, but we seldom talk about how far above the navel.


Your thoughts?

Generally it's important to concentrate on where the kilt falls on/or above the knee, wherever the top of the kilt stops really isn't so very important, as every kiltmaker has slightly different ways of making, and will also probably have different measurements of rise.

Steve's point's are well taken but they may not be universal, for his kilts perhaps and his chosen method of measuring, but it might not neccessarily hold good for all kilt makers.
