Of Kilt Lenght(s)

Always at the top of the knee or a fingers width above. Don't agree that Mr Thompson's book is outdated, some traditions are always in style. Don't care for the droopy look whether it is pants or kilts.

I agree completely.

This sums it up for me.

Mine goes in the vicinity of my knees, I dont spend alot of time positioning it in relation to my knees. The way I figure it is by how it feels round my waist as to too high/low etc.

If I do feel the burning desire to check how long my kilt is hanging I just kneel on the floor, If my kilt is bunched up on the floor its too long.

just my tuppence

I aim for the top of the kneecap but tolerate the middle of the knee cap, and unfortunately due to my "next of kin" (what I call my man-gut) after wearing one for a while it often slips a little further south requiring that I hike it back up to normal range again. So I guess I probably spend most of my time with my selvedge between the top and bottom of my kneecap.

I go for the top of the kneecap. If my kilt droops it gets uncomfortable behind my knee.

Top of the kneecap or slightly higher if I'm feeling jaunty

Ideally, I like mine at the top of the knee, but + or - an inch is OK with me.

Haven't I read that someplace before?

Top of the knee for me as well... I don't mind showing off a little leg.

I am still new at this, but I have sage advisers. I feel most comfy with the kilt at the top of the knee or slightly above. My trusted adviser (my lovely wife) prefers some knee showing. Suits me.
