My so far only kilt, a 13 oz tank, was custom made, after careful measuring about a dozen times. Looks like I simply need to go to top of knee instead of mid.
I like wearing it but dont have the money to wear it hiking, or get beer spilled on it, or paint, etc. I need a "beater" kilt, perfect for irrigating the garden, etc but still a kilt.

Thanks all, I will include the mentioned makers/distributors in my search.
