Okay. I finally dug out my digital camera and took a couple of pics. As for the measurements, I asssumed that they would add an inch or two for the rise, to the hip measurement. The first pic is with the kilt worn just slightly above where I wear jeans (It is touching the navel)
The second pic is with the kilt worn at the hips (actual point of measurement). The hip to knee measurement was 19 inches. The rest of my kilts (other than my Still water economy) are 22 inches and hit at just about mid knee. I feel somewhat like I'm wearing a mini-kilt in this one. In fact the customs declaration on the box says "mini kilt". Here is the second pic with the kilt sitting at about the actual measurement point. Please keep in mind that what I'm wearing is not what I'd actually wear with this kilt or any other that my old Sportkilt around the house. I wonder if Mac, Barb, or any other kilt maker have any idea as to whether a taylor or seamstress could lengthen it? For my tastes, it would be a fantastic kilt if it was just an inch and a half longer. When I ordered it I was looking for a solid black kilt made like a traditional
