I've never seen wellies on sale in Spain, but my coat is just above the ankle, so it's fine. I either wear walking boots or a brown pair of hobnail boots I had made.

Yeah. Feminine logic. You can’t beat it.

I normally wear a waterproof top of one type or another, depending on temperature as I don't have a long raincoat. It is also important to keep your kilt from drooping. I suspect one of the reasons military kilts tend to be shorter is so that if they get wet, they are not slapping against the back of your calf when you are walking. One that only touches the leg a little above the back of the knee is much more tolerable when wet.
If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

I didn't know they were shorter. Maybe its just the typical QM stores issue. Too big or too small?! I can tell you from recent experience that a long coat is essential, wearing a sopping wet kilt isn't very nice.

Rather than being a stores issue, it is based on the very practical point that TPA made: a wet kilt slapping you on the back of the knees can draw blood.
Wearing a kilt over the kneecap is a civilian fancy which may or may not have something to do with Queen Victoria.

Just having a little dig at the QM dept. What you say makes sense. So if a civilian wore it in the same manner, it wouldn't be incorrect?
