    Generally, modern kilts are worn at the hips -- like jeans.

    Yours might look better worn lower. I'm also one of those who like his kilts a bit long though. Mid-knee to bottom of the knee seems to look best on me. Anything shorter looks like a miniskirt on my short, thick legs.

    Thanks for the help, so far, guys. For me it is right on the borderline of too short. Right now opinions seem divided about 50/50.I may give it to my daughter. she is about the right height and is a little heavy for a woman (I think that runs in my family). I;m still reserving my final opinion though.

    I think that if you wear it with an off white pull over sweater it will make the kilt look longer because you won't be able the see the top of the kilt

    Besides that, your pictures are really making me homesick for Va. in the fall

    I decided to give it to my daughter. and I too love virginia in the fall. The leaves at this time of the year are absolutely gorgeous. But, I've visited Utah once in my life, and it has its own beauty. I came up through northeastern Arizona into southeastern Utah through the monument valley area, and it's one of the most beautiful areas of the whole country.
