I'm not Riverkilt either but...

These guys have all hit the nail on the head. I'm about the same height as Al but my SWKs would be considered an inch or so short by traditional standards. However since they are more of an everyday kilt for me, I find them to be just fine. Yet, I've worn it with my Prince Charlie jacket for formal events and since the vest came down far enough, no one was the wiser. In essence each kilt will fit everyone slightly different. You may try one of the Stillwater economy kilts to see how you like the length and then decide from there.
