That is a really nice kilt. It was made for a pipe band, not the military, but there is probably a traditional 2-inch rise from the waist. That means it will ride higher, therefore the length will most likely be just fine. Too early to worry about hemming or cutting. I'd be surprised if it is 22 oz tartan; more likely in the 16-18 oz range. It's knife pleated, not military box pleated. A Geoffrey (Tailor) rep told me at a highland games that they do not do military box pleats.

All in all, a true "tank" of a kilt to keep you warm in those wild, woolly, and cold mountains of Utah. Congratulations on the purchase. You got a great deal on a fine kilt.

They also had one in my size, but I already have... *GASP* ...too many kilts!
