Appropriate Fitting Q's

[Kilts_Knave]

A badly made kilt on the a guy or a fashion kilt as opposed to a traditional kilt can of course detract immersurably.

First, look at the image in the post "Dressed to kilt" on the "Kilts in the Media" thread. [I couldn't insert the pic here.]

My questions are: 1. Is that normally the height (i.e., just above the navel) to keep in mind when measuring yourself for a kilt? 2. The kilt pictured is traditional, but is there a particular style shown in the picture? 3. [Completely unrelated] How will the traditional lightweight wool tartans feel/hold-up in extrememly hot weather (I live in Homestead/Miami)?
