Casual Kilt Arrives!

[California Highlander]

Here it is in the box. Don't have a pic of me in it yet, but will shortly. I'm wearing it at navel, and it's not too terribly bad on length, but if it seems too long after another wear, I may send it for a little shortening at the top.

For now I'll just try to keep it high. As I mentioned, I should have gone 1" shorter probably. My mistake!


I previously had rented a kilt for a school fundraiser. But wearing one all the time was a different thing. My son was nonchalant about it. He walked in and said, "you're wearing your kilt". My girls were dreading the kilt arriving because they know I'll wear it, but after I put it on they seemed more appreciative or at least accepting. My youngest even suggested I should have gone for a more colorful tartan! So, the next one will be!

Sorry about the bad pix...my 14 year old son is a terrible photographer. These are the "best" of the lot!

Here it is on. I am wearing it so it's covering my naval, maybe even 1/2 above. Given my body type, I think that's about as high as it should go. I have on a medieval style belt since I don't have a kilt belt yet.


Length:


Too long? I could see it being 3/4 to maybe even an inch shorter but thought I should hear from the rabble, which always seems to have an opinion! Is it so long that it would be worth an adjustment?

In watching some of those videos of the highland games, seems like they were worn a bit longer than top of the knees, esp by the athletes. Given these photos, you'll know I'm no caber tosser!

And with a navy blue wool sweater:
