Kilt Height

[Nathan]

I agree with Rocky, most kilts I see in Scotland anyway have the 3 straps. Only time I have seen the 2 are on hire kilts and budget kilts quite often only have the 2. I have been told on many occasion by shop assistants that the 3rd strap ensures a better fit. Anyway my mind is made up regards the straps and I am going for 2. As for the kilt length I am going to discuss it today with the kiltmaker, however, I am edging towards having a traditional rise. For those interested it is going to be made up in the Campbell of Argyll weathered Lochcarron 16oz.

Thanks,

I don't think you'll regret your decision on straps and I think you're edging in the right direction regarding rise. I should warn you that there is a tartan called "Campbell of Argyll" that the Duke of Argyll and the Clan Campbell don't recognize as official.

The recognized Campbell tartan by the Duke of Argyll:

Anyway, the choice is yours my friend. I just thought I'd flag that to you in case "official" mattered to you and in case you hadn't been aware of the controversy around this tartan.

Best of luck!
