At which particular point in history are you referring, I have seen a number of pictures of length well above the knee and several of just below the knee, one being the late 17 something and the other late 18 something.
So just pick the particular point in history that suits you, and you will never be wrong.
Its just a fashion after all and the current fashion is for just below the centre of the knee cap but it was never always that way, so you are just respecting a different period in history.
