    I like mine mid knee or slightly lower. Below the knee and I feel like I'm wearing a dress. Above and I feel like I'm wearing a girl's skirt.

    I think most people on here are top of the knee type of folks. I have never been able to get used to the top of the knee. When I sit down the kilt rides up a few more inches, this exposure makes me feel uncomfortable.

    That being said, I once had a discussion with a drunken piper at the Dominion Tavern in Ottawa who claimed that the kilt should be 4 finger widths from the TOP of the knee cap.... ...and I've also seen guys wearing them down to mid calf. I think they were new to kilt wearing and didnt know any better...

    I would say, and maybe others can yay or nay me on this, but if you're roughly 3 finger widths from the middle of the knee cap, above or below, you're in the safe zone.
