Where do you wear your kilt?

[Singlemalt]

My old Canadian made tank is very high in the waist. It was made for me by a very traditional kiltmaker who measured it for me herself. I would say it sits 3-4" above my navel. I think it is of the traditional design outlined by Steve. It is comfortable, rides very well and has great swing. It's 24" overall length but the hem is perfect at the top of my knee. However, it does look odd to me when worn without a jacket or sweater as the top is just under my ribcage. I know a generation ago this was common, especialy in the military. The couple of kilts I have ordered in the last few years are 22" and sit just above my navel but also are right on my knee. I prefer the look without a jacket when worn more casually. I don't see either as right or wrong just different levels of formality and I am glad I have both.
