    Yes I agree, I'm 6'4" and a 24" kilt just doesn't work. My kilts are 26" or 25.5" in length.

    I find it very annoying to wear a kilt that's too short. I've had to do that on occasion because I was playing in a pipe band that didn't have a kilt to fit me properly.

    You wouldn't think that an inch or two would make much difference, but to me there's a big difference between the way a 24" kilt fits and a 25" kilt fits.

    For your height, for sure go with 26" or perhaps 27".

    The great thing about the Internet, is you can pretty much shop anywhere in the world... You have gotten some very good advice, and the only thing I can say is, it's good advice... I am 6'2" and my kilts are 26", while they come to mid knee or slightly higher. I had a 24" but sold it off, and went the bespoke route, ever since..

    Welcome to the kilting world, I am glad you joined us. I may be in the States, but I have family in Australia, two uncles, one in Brisbane and the other in Makay.
