Kilts Worn at Long Length

[Colin]

I’m six-foot tall so in a traditional kilt design 24” length is fine.
But for hot summer nights particularly, my casual kilts are comfortable at 22.5" (Sport Kilt) or 23” (Celtic Croft Homespun) or even 22” (AmeriKilts that I wear at jeans waist.)

There is no traditional kilt length standard in inches, but rather a guide on where the kilt should fall on your leg when it is made. Traditional kilts are made to measure and that includes the length. For me it has always been top of the knee. I find if I measure to the top of the knee, it sits comfortably right below the top and before mid.

We see more kilts that are too long because people are buying off the rack kilts that only come in standard sizes. Unless you are made the same as the design model these kilts will never fit like a made to measure kilt and that is why they sit too long on most people. Well that and that they are being worn on the hips and not on the waist.
