Making do, length-wise...

[JBfromBS]

I think what he might be asking is about some "off-the-rack" kilts, like Stillwater, etc. that usually come in a 24" length. I say yes, by all means order one and try it! You can wear it a little lower on the waist, and if it comes to somewhere around the top of the knee you have a great deal! Of course if it still too short, you can always return it (just remember not to take the basting stitch out). If you are custom ordering one, of course go with your measured length, not some arbitrary "standard" length.

I have a similar problem. My "ideal" kilt length is 26" as well. My USAK casual is 24" long and is wonderful, but it's also made to be worn at the hip. I am, however, reticent about getting one in that length in, say, a SWK, at this point. I don't want to drop $100 or so on a kilt to find that I don't like the way it looks and/or feels.

One of us is just going to have to bite the bullet and do it.
