How Do I Determine What Size Kilt To Buy?

[FossilHunter]

I understand. Thank you! The yardage now makes a lot more sense and I have a better idea of what to look for.

You said that you like your kilt to come to the top of your knee or just above, but is there a general rule about how long it should be? I have very long legs, so I'm not sure which, just above the knee, at the knee, or just below the knee would look best.

In general it seems to be accepted practice to wear the kilt at mid knee to somewhere a little above the knee. With the exact spot up to the wearer’s preference.

Below the knee is generally considered too low. This is both aesthetic and practical as the kilt will rub uncomfortably if too long.

There is a useful thread called “thcd a guide and definition” that has a lot of good photos of members in kilts and you will see a variety of heights. Even if you don’t go the traditional route, it’s a good resource. It is a sticky thread at the top of the traditional kilt wear subforum.
