I'm getting ready to order a new kilt (the diet keeps making me change sizes. Yay...?) and I wanted to get some input.

It's been forever since I was able to wear my kilt (ordered years back when I was much smaller) and a few months back I ordered a "quickie" kilt that came in a standard cut but fit my width. It struck me that it seemed to want to ride WAY high on my body to fit to the top of my knees -- almost four inches above my navel. Then I broke out my old tank and laid the new one on it, and lo and behold they were the same height -- only very different widths.

That made me start to wonder everything I ever thought about where one wears a kilt, so since I'm ordering a new one, I thought it would be good to check with conventional wisdom FIRST.

So. Here's the question.

When you wear your kilt as you prefer, how high up does the top of it sit? Is it at your navel (where I *thought* it was supposed to be), higher than your navel (how much higher?) or BELOW your navel?

Help a confused brother out.
