Too short?

[NewKilt]

Matthew Newsome discusses kilt length in his article for first time kilt wearers over at the Scottish Tartan Museum. He states that "Acceptable kilt lenght is anywhere from the middle of the knee cap to an inch or so above the knee.

So I would interpret your kilt lenght as being OK as long as you as satisfied with wearing it slightly below your naval. On the other hand if you like your kilts to be at mid-knee, then it's shorter than what you prefer.

I prefer mine to hit at the top of the knee or just slightly below the top of the knee. It's a matter of personal preference.

I like mine right at the top of the knee. Do you have a pic of what you look like in it?

Great idea Phil. Post a pic Jerry. Let us give you our unbiased opinion. I personally like to wear mine so that the bottom of the kilt is right at the top of the knee or slightly below.

The traditional Kiltmaker that made my first kilt insisted that the correct length was to the middle of the kneecap. My subsequent kilts were made to fall to the top of the knee and I believe they look better.

Jerry wear do like the kilt level at. If you don't like it , why put up with it?

[Riverkilt]

Take a look at some of the old paintings of kilted Scots...it might look a bit long compared to them.

I like my kilts at the top of my knee or higher...though it is taking me some time to get used to the bare leg look when I sit...wouldn't think twice about it in shorts...weird...relative thing I guess.

Your kilt, your body, follow your heart.

Better much short than too long-first for appearance: and secondly comfort in bad weather.
