Why are 99% of kilts only available in 24" length?

I've seen the 24 inch length as standard in Glasgow Edinburgh etc Kilt Hire shops.

I will say that recently many men's kilts are being made much shorter than ever before. Men's kilts are now being made in lengths that up until traditionally would only have been made for youths.

As a fine Scottish gentleman told me when I was helping host the Christmas tea for the local chapter of the Daughters of the British Empire, thankfully in the process of complimenting my correctly sized kilt, "I see guys wearing these things way above the knee, that's not a kilt, it's a skirt! It's either that or it's way below their knee, and that's not a kilt, it's a long skirt!"
