spied two kilts at Dland in one day

As I've mentioned, I work at The Happiest Place On Earth in Anaheim California.

I've also mentioned on these boards that seeing a man walk around in a kilt is a quite common sight, perhaps once a week or so. (99% Utilikilts)

Yesterday was a bit unusual as we had two Utilikilted gents walk by around the same time.

Even more unusual was the extreme shortness of one of the Ukilts! We were amazed. A guy walking around with his wife and kids was wearing a US desert camouflage Utility kilt which only came to his mid-thigh.

"That's just not right" one of our female employees said.

Usually these Ukilted men err on the side of longness, their kilts sometimes going far below their knees, even mid-calf on shorter men. (With their high-topped boots there's no leg to be seen.)

What is it about Utilitykilts which encourages this propensity for odd lengths?

They are built like pants. You step into them while they open in the front.
Maybe the newer ones are different, but my man has a zipper and snap in the front
of his Utilikilt.

Hopefully he is unaware of how it should be worn, but one never knows.....

Utilikilts did (or does) make a "mini-kilt" designed for women in a very short length - I think 16" . Maybe he was wearing one of those and did not realize it was for a woman (or did not care.)

I wore several of my USAK casuals at Universal Orlando last month. Only other person i saw in a kilt was one of the young men selling butter beer in he Harry Potter area,, but I got nothing but compliments.

Yes 16" was probably about it! One of those times when less isn't more.

Offtopic but my family and I are planning a trip to Orlando next January and we plan to take in Disney World as well as the Harry Potter park. I have never even thought about taking a kilt on vacation though... don't think my family would like it.
