    Anyway, about the Tan, it does appear too short in the back and borderline in the front.

    I'd stay with the 23".

    Try pulling the black kilt up in the front, just to see how it fits?

    I tend to like the shorter look. When I bought my first UK, it was off the rack at an event, a 37" medium (23). when I ordered another the exact same size. it seemed too lomg. Lo and behold the first one I bought was really a short (21.5) and I like it's length better.

    I think Steve at Freedom Kilts now takes the slope into account when you order a Freedom kilt. Not many other kiltmakers do.

    Anyway, I think the tan looks fine.

    You're Tan UK is not hanging properly as Cavscout had mentioned. The back is about 1 to 2 inches shorter. If this is wear you want to wear your UKs then I think a Beer-cut or "BC" is what you need. The kilt is cut different in the front to allow the kilt line to be even when viewed from the side. I would return it and try the BC kilt.

    I like your Xmas present by the way

    Cheers,
