Unfortunately I think you missed your opportunity to get an HW before the New Year. He had some available but you would have had to email him prior to the 22nd.
Oh well, what's a week or two? ~begins to shake and sweat uncontrollably ~
Despite the fact that they're to long, after all the comments I've heard about SWK I think I'm just going to have to break down and order one next year.

Thats why they have an unhemmed edge, so they can be trimmed.

I'm lucky in that the 24 inch standard length hits me right at mid-knee. I'm 6'0". That's with me wearing it high on the waist. They are designed to be worn high on the waist. Trechnically I could have it hemmed up a inch and have it hit at the top of the knee, but I like the waist height, mid-knee fit it gives me as shipped.
Length seems to be a matter of personal choice. Mathew Newsome's article at the Scottish Tartans Museum debcribes "acceptable length to be anywhere from mid-knee to an inch or so above the knee." A casual kilt worn lower on the waist could be considerably shorter than a traditional kilt worn high on the waist, yet both kilts could actually hit you at the same place on the knee. That's my interpretation. Other's may see it differently.
I wore my Bear Kilts BC tartan to Long Byotch last night, it wears a little high for me (it's 2 inches shorter than my others at 20"), I call it my sports model kilt. I'm looking forward to seeing the SWK line next year, wondering if the purple Scottish tartan was just a test or ...
Merry Christmas One and All ! {and Thanks again Robert }

I emailed Jerry on the 21st and paid by Pay Pal on the 22nd. The tracking information seems to show that it didn't get out the door. But it might get here for my birthday on 8 January. Here's hoping.
I sent for a Gordon economy long before the dead line. I got the post office notice on Monday it was sent and I got the notice by email the post office in town received it this morning (They don't deliver on Sat. It is sitting in the post office all by itself.... Jones Jones)
I'll have to wait till Mon.
My wife said I will just have to suffer.
Merry Christmas
