    Nope - length is perfect.

    For what it's worth, a good pal back home always says a kilt looks better on a fellow with a bit of weight about him, rather than on a stick of a lad.

    This may be the result of seeing folk in hire kilts, where the thinner chap hasn't much shape, & the kilt hangs too low, but this is just a guess.
    I'm very pleased that all seem to agree on the kilt length!

    A number of years ago, I was outgrowing my wardrobe. Also, my cholesterol level was too high. Rather than re-filling my closet, I decided to lose some of the extra. In addition to making some dietary changes, I started riding my bicycle to work and for recreation. No racing or land speed records, just casual riding. In less than 2 years I went from 185+ pounds down to 155 where I am today. My doctor says to continue whatever I am doing, and that my health is equivalent to someone 10 to 15 years younger. It worked for me. Might work for you too.

    Thanks all. Actualy I have lost 50lbs. I was up to 350 and cut out about 75% of my carbs and sugars and over the last c0uple of years have indeed lost 50. I still weigh a tad over 300 but working on it. I also joined a gym and work out a few times a week. Slowly but surely is better than fast or so they say.
