Kilt Lengths in Gathering Photos

[gilmore]

I like mine to be at the top of the knee but it does ride down with wear during the day. At a local establishment called "The Pub' all the waiters wear kilts. All the kilts are a normal length of around 23 to 24" but they wear them at a jean waist level. This puts the kilt way below the knee. I have commented to the manager about it. I get the same response every time: "well you know these young guys. It is a carry over of the sagging pants look".

Another thing may be the waist. The kilts----at least the traditional ones---are made to be worn with the waist two inches or so above the navel. Some older guys (not mentioning names or giving examples) have the avoir dupois (expanded stomach) to keep them there, whereas younger guys and others with flatter stomachs do not, so the kilt is more likely to slide down over time.

Mine tends to slide down especially the great kilt.
