I started off looking hard at Stillwater Kilts. I wanted to purchase one of their heavyweights. Then I rented a kilt to wear to my daughters wedding. It was made by LochCarron. It measured 22" from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the selvage and fit me perfectly when I wore the kilt up under my ribcage.

So...you all know that Stillwater Kilts are all 24" long...period....no exceptions, according to the emails I have received from them.

What I am wondering (inspired by another thread) is what would happen if the buckles were moved downward?

Wouldn't that force the kilt to ride higher on the body?

If military kilts were worn high and higher as a means of adjusting the length, wouldn't forcing a civilian kilt to ride higher on the torso be the same principle?

Or, is there something I'm not seeing that faults this theory?
