To alter, or not to alter

[Jock Scot]

I know its not what you like, but it is perfectly ok to wear it even higher and would look far better. Remember it is the bottom of the kilt that is important and in all honesty, the top can look after itself. For me, if the kilt fits in all other aspects then I would have absolutely no hesitation in wearing my father's kilt higher up the waist, I would perhaps cover the top with a jacket or pullover though, as high on the waist does look a little odd to modern eyes.
