Colors - Matching

Pull your kilt up. It's to low. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ_fFLaljY0 Caution on the language, but it's to the point.

As mentioned in the song, middle of the knee was the "just right" standard I was raised on, it was the standard my regiment followed and the only one I ever heard until I came on xmarks and heard people insist on top of the knee.

Interestingly, there's a Highland wear enthusiast with a shop in Toronto's Kensington Market and I mentioned top of the knee to him and he said, "Yes, that's the old standard, it's mid-knee now". I'm curious to know who sets this standard. Would it be judges at pipe band competitions? Military regiments? Kilt vendors? All of the above?

So there seems to be two distinct schools of thought and this has been debated on other threads here, but I just find it interesting that this colourful song insists on the same standard I was familiar with.
