The old military standard for kilt waist height is just that - the old military standard. Personally I think kilts look best at the jeans waist regardless of the persons girth. High waist p**ts and kilts with suspenders (braces) makes you look antique. For routine wear, the corset tight waist band that is required for unsupported high waist wear between the lower ribs and hip bones, when it doesn't want to rest there, is putting undue stress on the kilt straps and kilt and heavy pressure on your kidneys, heart and lungs preventing normal deep breathing - down right unhealthy and never comfy. Doing so will only weaken your abdominal "girdle" muscles further.

Pants is only a present tense verb here. I once panted, but it's all cool now.
