Yes, I wear both my Rkilts a bit longer... not past the knee but mid to lower part of the knee. There's something about the "line" of this particular style that looks good with a longer length. Mind you, my tartan clan kilts are mid-knee to top of knee. It's all about style and tradition, I suppose. To the bottom of the knee-cap is as low as I feel comfortable going, though. Beyond that, it's all about what Steve said in the above post re; ..."swishing against the back of your calves".
