    I think there are reasonably five distinct lengths 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
    What? Oh, yes, Describe them! Thank you.
    Below the knee(2in+);
    Bottom of knee(1in to 2in foldover when kneeling to floor as hem touches);
    Center of knee(no space at touchpoint on floor up to 1/2in clearance);
    Top of knee(1 to 2in from kneecap top); and
    Above the knee(2in or more clearance at touchpoint on floor when kneeling).

    I'm an "Above thy knee," kilt wearer. Shorter is fine until I begin thinking about the length. At that spot I drop it a quarter inch and don't give it another thought. I don't tug or make fall length adjustments. I wear the length exactly where I want it. In the other poll, I indicated I'm a hip bone kilt wearer. As you may surmise the the UK's xshort or mini suits me fine. However, I've some that are top-of-knee and some at-the-knee.

    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?
