Where ought a kilt come to?

[Highlander31]

I, personally am of the opinion that a kilt should come to the edge of a pretty lasses antechamber, at which point it should cease, and be deposited on the back of a chair by her dressing mirror...

Funny Alan,...very funny.

And that length is indeed welcome in cold weather, especially if it's also heavy wool.

(sorry, this should be a quote from an earlier post)

With regard to an exposed kneecap in cold weather I remember reading this (can't remember where) ' Don't worry about being cold in a kilt, the only part of the leg exposed to cold weather is the bony structure of the knee, which doesn't feel the cold'

Since writing my original post I've been 'experimenting' in my kilts and one thing I do find is that the kilt does seem to 'swing' (or 'swish') better in the longer length (centre of the kneecap). At the end of the day it's a matter of choice. Just make sure that your kilt doesn't hang below the centre of the knee (watch out - it's those kilt polis again ! ith

Should cut the middle of the kneecap not higher or lower. Our RSM (I'm ex Argylls) was quite particular about this........ enough said!!!!!!

Mid-knee for me.

BTW, the reason some kilts hang lower by the end of the evening is due to overeating and our bellies pushing the buckle southwards!
