First of all, thanks for the suggestions.

My Gordon kilt is 28" total length. 2" from the center of the top strap to the top of the kilt.
When I wear my kilt, the bottom is just above my knee, the kiltstraps are on my waistline (bellybutton).

When I ordered my kilt (in Scotland) they also didn't believe that I measure 26 inch from waist to knee but it's true. I suppose I just have long legs.
