I have only worn kilts at the traditional location. Being 6 ft and now weighing 275 (down from 320 YAY!) I agree with what has been said, they are more slimming at that location.
One the subject of hangers, I have a pair that I wear for everyday wear. I do wear a chain and belt when going out for the evening or the like.
I don't have any of Cavscout's wares yet (that is about to change! Order coming soon Cavscout!) but have seen them up close and personal and they are exceptional work very good quality.
