My kilt is long because it was my first tank, and I didn't know enough about the process to clearly state what I wanted. When length was measured at 22", I thought that was a perfect length to wear just above my navel, and have fall just below the top of my knee. Then they took the 22" and added 2", so if I am to wear my kilt above the knee, I have to pull the top up 4 or 5 inches above my navel. If it's the difference between wearing my waistband in my armpits or covering a couple inches of knee, I'll be covering the knee.
