    Just have the bottom hemmed up w/ a blind hem, you'll never be able to tell. I had one of my first "cheap" kilts hemmed up this way, worked out great. I am 5'7" and it just needed to be done to be acceptable.

    I have a couple of SWK standards and have had all of them hemmed by a local seamstress to 22" because I'm a fireplug 5'7". My kilts now hit just a bit above the navel, but I like to pull them up a tad more and have them rest just above my gut.
