How Do I Determine What Size Kilt To Buy?

[SunriseEarth]

I'm 6'2, around 210 pounds with long legs and a short torso, but my legs, my hamstrings, quads and glutes are fairly large do to heavy weightlifting, so how do I determine what length kilt I should buy? I've seen references to 22 inch kilts and 24 inch kilts.
Should my kilt hang below or above my knee?

To the point of your weightlifting, you may have a larger difference between your waist size and hip size than standard. Off-the-rack kilts usually use a standard difference of 4", but that may not work for you. I'd definitely get that measuring tape out and get something made to order.

As for how long, you will want to measure from where you plan to wear your kilt on the waist to where you'd like the kilt to fall. The middle of the kneecap to slightly above the knee is common. I personally like mine an inch above the knee to help keep cool, but some of my kilts go to mid-knee.

I can attest to that. My hip measurement is 9 inches larger than my waist because of weight lifting. It causes the pleats to pucker out at the end of the fell. You can live with it if it is 1 or 2 inches small, but 5 or 6 inches would be too much.

Yeah, I think I'm definitely going to have to get a customized kilt
