    Your kilt is perfect and you look good in it! You wear it the way you want to wear it; if others want to wear it 'too' long, that's their prerogative. If I had to error on the the side of caution, I'd go for too short as opposed to too long. And besides... ask most women, the more leg the better!

    It hits about 1/2" above my knee, but it's great for summer wear. I have a bit longer full 8 yard wool Douglas kilt that I plan on wearing, with hose, during the winter. I am slowly buidling up my acessories - sporrans, hose, hangers, belts, flashings, etc....

    Acquiring kilt accessories is a journey (never ending some would suggest). You have also done your wife a huge favour - now she won't be at a loss as to what to get you! You might want to try that line and see if it works for you.

    I have two lengths of kilt, to below the knee and to just above, and for anything active I wear the short ones, as it is so annoying, and can even become painful, to have the edge of the kilt being trapped behind the knee when ambling over the heaths or about the house when having a clear out.

    Your kilt seems just about the perfect length for any active pursuit.

    As for blousing shirts - just raise the hem and tug down before easing the waistline back into place - though you might wish to do that in private.

    Does anyone wear t-shirts with their kilts? If so, do you tuck in the shirt or not?

    Yes - all the time.

    If the kilt has a belt then it goes over, if it has some of the many miscellaneous fastenings I sew on to hold them up then mostly those go under.

    I would tuck in a t-shirt just as I would any other shirt. A sweater (by itself or over a shirt) I would wear on top of the kilt.

    Yeah. Riiiiiight, Ms Kittie. You drop down on one knee and get low so as to get a "better photographic perspective".

    Uh huh. You betcha. muffled laughter is heard.....OK, not so muffled......

    Ts with kilts all the time. Typically tucked if with kilt hose and proper shoes. Untucked if I'm going super casual with bare legs, flip flops/rubber slippers.
