Regarding kilt length, I found the following quote in an online guide to kilt wearing which corresponds to what our regimental rules were. Has fashion evolved?

"The lower edge of the kilt should break somewhere between the middle and top of the kneecap. Above the knee, and it's not a kilt, but a Catholic school-girl skirt. Below the knee, and it becomes a tea-length dress." http://www.en8848.com.cn/e/DoPrint/?...d=254&id=19520

Also, Jock: I find that point you make most interesting as a tweed jacket looks a lot like a tweed jacket to me regardless of it's length. Can you recommend a good book that would be the go to guide for these things in Scotland? When young people are learning the dos and don'ts do they consult some guide or is it all an oral tradition? I can see that people on this forum disagree with my Highland Regiment's regulations regarding:

Kilt length, bonnet formation, underwear and I'm sure I'll find more...
