FWIW big people, I'm only 5'6'' and my kilt is 24'' long. It fits just above or on the knee and although I'm not wearing it just now, I'm sure it's only max. 2" above my navel. The size on the label is for an even more diminutive soldier than me, IIRC something like 5'2'' - 5'4''.
I'd get a 24'' again.

I'm glad I found this thread 2 days into the sale. SWK Sale kilts in my size are no longer available, so you lads have saved me some expense. Thank you!

Yeah, my size seems to be gone too. Good thing for now. Or is it? :confused: I should start saving for a semi-trad from USAK, a UK Original and a . . . maybe another semi-trad from USAK
I'm looking forward to getting more kilts . . . and an Argyll jacket in tweed with matching waistcoat, a kilt suit from 21stCK, some nice brogues and a a jacobite shirt or three, a sgian dubh . . . The list goes on. But I sure do love wearing the kilt!

2 kilts on the way, none in the closet
O Lord, I'm in trouble now! I kept looking at the 36" SWK Saffon, saying "you can wait for the Gordon from Scotland (mid September target)". Then I looked at the price. Then I reached for my wallet.
What'll I tell the wife? She's not as "enthusiastic" about this as are my Kinder. Oh well.

OK, got the solid green! Should be here by Monday or so, knowing Jerry's service. Alas, I will be in FL looking after the house and will have to wait until I return to get it!

Tell her you put a pair of pants under your pillow and the Kilt Fairy brought it to you.

My wife is going to kill me
I knew I shouldn't have looked at this thread last night. My wife was just telling me about how I shouldn't waste to much money on this "kilt thing" but I was having dreams about one of those Saffron kilts and ordered a 36" this AM. And since it's on sale I just had to have another pair of stockings and that sporran cantle set. Oh man, she's going to kill me. Good thing I head out of town on Sunday. I'd better lay low until then.

I didn't pick up one of the sale heavyweights. But, I did order myself a Wallace tartan kilt I needed a red tartan in a bad way. And the econo prices are so good I figured I'd give one a shot. I have one of his standards (the NS) and the only thing I don't care for on it is that I think the acrylic in that much yardage is a bit much. So, I'm excited to see how an acrylic 4-5 yarder feels.

I just hope I'm the one who's home when the mailman cometh.
