Knee length- what is perfect?

[mookien]

I'm a mid to bottom of the knee cap kiltie. Among others, I take my cue from the photos on the web sited, MacGregor and MacDuff, as Scotweb.

Stan: Be careful judging the length of a kilt from photos. If the camera is at eye level, as is often the case, it will make the kilt appear longer than it really is.

Also, quoting from the Scotweb site itself ...

"The bottom hem of your kilt can fall anywhere from the middle of your knee cap to an inch or so above the knee. A third of the way down the knee cap is about ideal. Certainly do not cover the knee entirely. That looks a little daft."

For the reference see page 38 of the "Free Gift" entitled "Kilts and Tartans Made Easy" available on the Scotweb home page .

I'm not citing that as a definitive rule. Folks can establish their kilt hems wherever they please. I think it is designed to be a rule of thumb for the kilt novice.
