Kiltedjohn,
I fully understand your situation. At 5'8" (and the doc told me at the last physical that I had shrunk an inch to 5'7"; dang him), anyway, at my height, a 24" kilt is way too long. My length measurement is 21.5". When I purchaged my kilt, I ordered 22". And that is almost at the bottom of my knees. Even the slightest difference in a kilt length makes a massive difference in the appearance and the comfort it has. So, unless I have a sudden growth spurt at 57yo, I have to get mine made to fit me.
But, at the same time, all the really great things in life are closer to ground level anyway. So the benefits outweigh the difficulties.
Have a great week, Kiltedjohn and everyone else too.
Tom
