Kilt Lengths in Gathering Photos

[Urchurdan]

Any kilt maker/hirer that I know, when measuring your kilt, gets you to kneel on the ground with your legs and back straight - when you do this, the bottom of the kilt should just touch the floor, this puts the kilt when standing slightly above mid knee.
I wear my kilts in the military fashion with a high waist, a lot of young guys get their kilts measured this way, then proceed to wear them like jeans on their hips, this means that the kilt falls away to low - well for my eyes anyway.
However, I personally think that some people wear them too high above their knee, and I think that look is a bit naff as well.
I saw one man with a kilt that had been made to sit on his hips, and was also too high above his knee, and the resulting effect made him look like he was (like my granddaughter in a previous post here), wearing a mini skirt.
It pays to try and get it right, the wrong length, and you can end up being ridiculed. This is one time when attention to detail is worth it.
