Since you like to wear your kilt about 1 or 2 inches below the traditional kilt, add an in to the 1/3 measurement. This should put the jacket about the shelf of your butt.
So this mathematics of yours will give me the length down my kilt the jacket should come?
This is all far more confusing that I had anticipated. I might just ask Victoria to convert the jacket as she normally would and trust that it'll look fine enough for the limited use it'll get in the near future. I appreciate all of the expert input, I'm just worried that if I try to do any measuring on my own that I'll end up causing more problems than I avoid.
