According to Thompson, and others, the length should be the top of the knee, to no more than an inch higher. And I suppose where this is in the traditional threads, how one wears anything other than a traditional is irrelevant. I am surprised sometimes with all of the former military personal on this board, there seems to be a culture of "I like it like this", rather than "the correct way to wear it is". When wearing a proper traditional kilt, there are rules on how it is to be worn, no different than your Drill Sgt. ensuring that your dress uniform is on correctly. I Think it's safe to say that when most of the people here see the kids nowadays with their pants down around their ****, we think they give all kids a bad name. Well it's the same with someone who "chooses" to wear the kilt incorrectly. Others see this and guilt by association... unless of course they have already seen someone wear it correctly. This was not meant to offend, just a strong stance on proper dress.
