    Thanks for all the help

    My kilt lenght measures 20" navel to top of knee
    the kilt I have now is 21"and It rides 1" above my naval and hits top of knee
    24' would put it right on the ribs and cut my torso in half
    Is that too long?
    I have a klit that I made that is 23" and it fits about right for a traditional

    I guess that the only real way to find out is to order one and try it on
    I'm an 18th century guy born into the 20th century and have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

    Go for it. Ron mentioned that he didn't like the idea of ordering something and than having to pay for it to be altered. While I completely agree with him, the price for a standard (or heavyweight...stay away from the econo) Stillwater kilt is so absurdly low, the little bit extra for a nice hem is still going to be cheaper than most of your casual non-wool kilts. Look at the price of the Utilikilts and they are all standard lengths (with a few options, but still not custom made).
