    The first thing I do is shorten the 24 length by two inches and im 5-11.
    I like my kilts to hit just above the knee.
    I just think it looks better and it does not tend to rub the back of the legs raw.
    But everyone has thier own ideas of how they want to wear them.

    Guys
    I'm 5'7" and shaped like a fire plug. I'll take my SWK Standards and have them hemmed two inches by a friend. I like my kilts to hit about mid knee for the Standards, but a bit longer for my heavier wool. My 22oz WPG "The Beast" is at 23" for warmth during the winter. But for their money, the SWK Standards are tops for me.
