Length of kilt - hunting tartan

[TheBrus]

Sorry, CMcG. The description of the forum gives dates. I was asking about what's considered "right and proper" now... so I chose modern.

So do we need another sub-forum... see prev threads on this.

Traditional kilts from 1980 to present or does modern already include this.

I have kept out of previous arguments on this as I feel I have not been a member long enough.

I would say for a traditional kilt as made now then as above, just above to mid knee. The variant of a particular tartan does not matter. A modern kilt, then it depends on the design and what the wearer wants and feels looks best.

Thanks, Chris. My introduction to Highland attire was given to me by the RSCDS, the disciples of the inimitable Miss Milligan. Any Scottish country dancer should know what I mean. Perhaps this is an outdated perspective.

This is kind of a strange question for the Modern Kilt Wear sub-forum... the answer might be "there are no rules, do what you like." I see a lot of people who wear their kilt with scrunched down socks and boots/shoes have the kilt mid-knee or lower.

This is a great example of the issue that's caused so much trouble here lately!
As read, this sub-forum is about wearing 'the kilt' any style of kilt, trad, MUG, whatever, after 1980. But as one can see, this sub-forum is generally percieved by many folks as being for "modern" (non-trad) styles

You have raised, unwittingly, a much debated issue that is very relevant at present and illustrates a point perfectly.

Thank you Ted for providing the link to that old thread.
