I know that kilts are "to the top of the kneecap" but was there ever a longer length? The local goth shop has "kilts" much longer than kneecap but it looks well...like a skirt. The only redeeming factor is the Royal Stewart tartan. If I put the whole Scottish regalia on like a sporran I could pull it off. It would still look funny. I could allways whack it off at the knees later.

What sayeth the Kilting community is there a place for longer kilts?
First off, I hope everything went well with the ordering up in Louisiana.
Second, I'm looking at it this way:
Does (cost of "goth kilt") + (cost of alteration) =< (cost of regular kilt in Royal Stewart)?
Keeping in mind, the cost of alteration may iclude explaining to a German tailor what the proper cut and length of a kilt should be.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
