    It takes some getting used to but kilts really need to be worn a lot higher than we are used to wearing trousers (at least modern ones)

    An inch higher would be very near my armpits, I'm afraid. I actually hiked it up quite a bit already to show the knees. I do wear my jeans at my hips, like most people, but I understand that the kilt is worn high, and I think that two inches or so above the navel is what I'm comfortable with. It's still quite a bit higher than I wear pants or shorts. If I'm wearing a formal jacket with this kilt, I'll hike it up as far as it needs to go for the proper length because the top is concealed anyway, but I think I may violate the "two fingers above the knee" rule for length when I wear this one out to games, because my tucked in T-shirt conceals nothing, and I'd rather have my waist comfortable than show my bonnie knees.

    We'll do my best to be there this year. We've seen you and your family there before. I think you were all decked out in loud Mcleod in 2008.
