I could wear a 24" kilt but it ends up with the waist up near my pecs if I want the bottom near the top of my knee.

An example of how short my torso is: My Dad and I stand the same height. From the floor up my hips are about an inch taller than his. When we sit side-by-side, however, he is almost two inches taller than me.
