    However, the kilt length is 27". If it is too long do I leave it or get it hemmed?
    Nice score indeed.

    The jacket cuffs look about right... we'd have to see a pic with your arms hanging at your side to know for sure. They might even be a tiny bit long, as I prefer to show some shirt cuff at the bottom. I've heard that gauntlet cuffs are difficult (read:expensive) to alter, so it might not be worth it to try and change them.

    The kilt is also acceptable. If you hem it though, you could both wear it at your natural waist (rather than the military rise) and have the hem sit at the top of your knee.
