What about the length of the Sport Kilt
I've just been hired (at a very very modest fee) as the Piper for Notre Dame Prep, Michigan's home football games. I have been thinking about ordering a sport kilt (don't need to wear my 16 or 18 oz wool kilts) I was told that they wear the same tartan as the Notre Dame University Pipe Band. It appears, from their web site, that it is the All Irish, tartan. At any rate, I thought I'd order a XXL with all the trimmings, fringe etc. to wear just for that event. I have at least 4 more to go. I also hope to get to pipe the graduation in June and perhaps the basketball team in the winter.
The quality looks good and I have heard some good things here, but I am concerned about the length. I am 6"4" and my personal kilts (by Brunette's in Canada) are 24" and the length shown on the order sheet is 22.5" I can wear the kilt a bit lower than I do now (the 24 comes to the knee and I wear it a bit low so that it really comes a bit below the knee. I don't want to look like I am wearing a "mini kilt" after all. (It is wildly attractive on 18 year old girls but plain ugly on any aged guy) However, I don't really want to wear the kilt so low that it reminisant of the plumber guy on Redneck TV. (GitErDone)
Advice, feedback????
