Whats the right lengh for a UK

[binx]

My demin and postal blue UK trads are above the knee. But I have found my just-below-the-knee Mocker to be more appropriate for wearing at work. It still reveals the knee while walking and sitting, and has more of a swing to it.

I quite agree with Hamish regarding length-top of the kneecap gives that bit of dash and style that is a part of wearing the kilt. Rather than the sloppy appearance of an over long kilt.

There is however another point-what will you be wearing the kilt for: casual wear etc the length as above fine. But if for hill walking/out in all weathers etc-then I'd suggest a shorter kilt-with a least a good inch between the top of the kneecap and the hem.

Why?

It makes the stride/crossing obstacles easier-and cuts down the battering/chafing which a wet kilt can inflict if too long.

Too I can assure you that such a length is no more immodest than any other kilt-nor does it give rise to such problems.
