    I think you mean the Post "An interesting letter" that I posted. Perhaps some kind Mod could put in a connection? I am afraid I don't know how to do it. Thanks.

    Camera Angle has a lot to do with some of the appearances.


    This picture was taken by my tutor while he is standing. This kilt is made to be at the top of my knee, but looks lower due to picture angle. If the photographer had squatted down for a "belt buckle" shot, my kilt would be at the same point as Skauwt.


    This image is taken by a photographer that is below me on a slope in my back garden. Kilt has landed about mid knee. My early stages of great kilt assemblage. It is now adjusted a little higher.


    Here there is a lot of variety in where the kilt lands!


    This is my "off the peg" Stillwater. With proper fastening of the belt, I can stay between top and mid knee.
