highland warrior's kilt

[apack]

Matt, so what length kilt do you recommend for men of various heights? Is there a general rule of thumb for this? Or, to make it more personal, what would you recommend a guy who is 5' 11" tall with typical proportions (pant size 36"/32"), and with the kilt worn at the natural waist?

There is a chart I used to have somewhere that gave what the "average" kilt length was for various height men. I don't think I have it any longer because I never really used it. Not all men are "average" and really there is no substitution for an individual measurement.

I'm 6'3" and my kilts are 24", which is a bit shorter than average for my height because I carry more of my height in my torso (rather than in my legs) than most men my height.

The average kilt length across the board is about 22.5". If you are 5'11" I'd say a 23" or 24" kilt would not be out of order, but that all depends on how you are built, and how long or short you want your kilt to be.

Having seen how handsome Matthew looks in his knee-revealing kilts, I shall have no more hesitation about wearing mine.

Thanks for those photos, Matt !

I'm in line to sign up too. KNEE FREEDOM!

Tell you what, wearing a kilt above the knee is just plain common sense. The kilts I have that are a tad longer - mid knee - "beat up" the back of my knees when I walk. Most noticeable on a hike, which is what our ancestors did a lot.
