    i was reading your post on your kilt length.. i'm about 6'-6'1"... I ordered a 21.5" kilt, as I know I wont like the feel of the kilt all the way at (or above my navel)..I like to look/fit of the casual kilt (but want the more traditional pleating/strapping), so I ordered it shorter in order to be able to wear it about an inch below my navel. Does this measurement sound right? Also, i normally wear 30" lower rise jeans (a little below my navel), so I ordered a 32"er. Does that sound right, a few inches larger than jeans even if I am wearing in the similiar location on my stomach/hips? I also measureed my hip area with a pair of shorts on and got about 38" loosely..Im 6'1" 160lbs.. does all this sound right sir?

    I'm 5'11" as well, and my made-to-measure kilt is 23.5 inches long. I haven't ordered a Stillwater, yet, but It's nice to know I'll be able to wear one. Unlike some, here, I'm not addicted. The two kilts I have are plenty, though I can see getting one more.

    I love my Stillwaters and they are my choice for "active" wear like hiking and highland games, don't get me wrong, but at 5'7" with a 28-29 inch inseam I know that before I can wear it, I'm gonna have to hem it. It's just a given at this point. If I don't hem it, it becomes a formal gown and I don't have proper shoes for that, nor do I know how to dance back'ards.
