    Re: Kilted Wedding Guest.

    looking great! Who is the lovely lady?

    random question: Is a kilt too long for a man if it ends just below the knee cap?

    This is a highly debated topic. I, for one, like mine to fall to the top of the knee.

    The angle on the OPs picture makes it appear to be lower than i susupect it really is.

    Again, looking great!

    Oh, no, he looks wonderful. I was just wondering and thought I would ask here instead of starting a whole thread for it

    In fact, if it's more than a grunt below the top of the knee cap, it's too long.

    and, pabackwoodsman, you look sharp, especially with the lovely, unnamed lady.

    Possibly, or the kilt may be the right length, but he is wearing it too low on his torso. Convention has the proper length as high as a little above the knee to no longer than mid knee.

    Re: Kilted Wedding Guest.

    To clear a few things up. First the unnamed lady is my girlfriend Bethany. As to my kilt length it is just a little above the middle of my knee.
