    It never ceases to amaze me that kilt lengths are so different from person to person, I am 6' 3" and my kilt length is 24" max, my latest kilt is being made to 23 1/2 inches which makes me 8 inches taller than you but only half inch difference in kilt length. Just goes to prove that everyone is different. Best way to check is to get someone else to measure you from wherever you want the kilt at knee height. Somewhere between mid to top of the knee, depending on your preference to two inches above the navel. This is the generally accepted range for a standard traditional kilt. However if you want to wear it lower on the waist that's fine but still leave the knee height around mid to top of knee.
