I agree. All of my kilts go to the middle of the knee.

finally i have solve the problem with my military kilt..maybe some body could think i am a mad crazy man but i just plunge the front part of the kilt(the not pleat zone)in hot water for a while very carefully and after that i put the kilt straight on a towel to dry it properly.,,the result was great and i dont need to iron it..some folks think that is a big risk but i have not cut at all any piece of tartan wich is good enught...now look fantastic---------

When I learned kiltmaking, I was taught that kilts should come just to the top of the knee cap (not middle of the knee). If a kilt is too long, it starts looking like a skirt. And you want an nice bit of knee showing between the bottom of the kilt and the top of the hose.
