How Long

We are talking about a traditional kilt right? If so it should be at the top of the knees to mid knee at the longest, I prefer wearing kilts to the top of the knee as it gives me the freedom of movement that a longer kilt may not provide. I also think if you are getting a garment made for you, any garment, then said garment should fit correctly, so with a kilt I go get measured for it and that seems to work out fine for me. If I were to wear a standard 24" length I would have to wear it far too high. Do not worry about showing too much leg, and like Archangel says get some shorter boxers.

What's your opinion on the bottom of a kilt sitting an inch above the knee cap? Acceptable?

Isn't "an inch above the knee cap" what is being said when we say "the top of the knee. In my case, my knee cap is, like three inches wide. So where do you mean - "an inch above the knee cap"......?

I think "an inch above the knee cap" IS the top of the knee.
