    As far as I'm concerned, the target is the knee. As long as it's not above or below, it's good enough.

    Personally, I prefer mid knee with most of my kilts, but I have no choice but top of the knee and pants waist with the sportkilt, and I usually wear my x-kilt at the bottom of the knee.

    I have to agree. In all the years I have worn a kilt, or been exposed to those wearing a kilt, the mid knee (or just slightly higher) seems more natural, comfortable, and better looking in my opinion. I cringe when I see photos of traditional kilts worn like a pair of baggy pants (trousers).

    As far as the Utilikilt, I personally wear them at the same length as my traditionals. But, the Utilikilt is its own fashion statement, and it was originally designed by Steve to drop just below the knee. For those of you who remember the original UK web site, the photo of Steve in his monster boots clearly showed the UK hanging just below the knee. If the designer wore it that way, then it is a good assumption that it would be sold that way.
