Kilt length

[MGMorrison]

Thank you gentlemen.
When I started wearing kilts 5 years ago, I did not cinch both top straps tight enough, so by the end of day, the "slide" had kicked in, and it was below my knees, and I needed an arm extender to open my sporran.

....Must have sometning to do with my increasing waist line as I get older.

As far as the white hose, I have several different pair/ colors now from the House of Cheviot.

As Ive said in other posts, I learn something every time I log in.

As far as the selvedge edge, at the top of, or no longer than to the middle of the knee, is optimal. The waistline in your example is fine, and could even go a wee bit farther up towards the rib cage. Even more so if wearing it in the "regimental" manner.

Looks great to me. You can blouse your shirt a bit if you want which is to untuck your shirt an inch or two and let it fold over the top of your kilt. You may find the kilt rides a little lower toward the end of a long day out and about.

Looks fine to me.

I LIVE IN UK Cornwall. I have been with Scottish Ex Pats in South Dorset, say twenty miles west of Anne the Pleater for thirty five years.
We always wore what is correctly called Ivory Hose. I still wear them as they work well.
Perhaps this is Uniformity to a tradition. All the Kilties legs are covered in the same colour Kilt Hose. All the Kilts are different colours.
All the shirts are white and worn with Ties. No tartan ties are worn. This is the form for dancing.
It is a sort of phycological thing. Do not be the odd man out.
I never see a Kiltie out on the street. Anyone who has seen me may copy my style. I may then change my style, and they would
then become Confused. I feel this subject should stay in this thread until it becomes a different debate.
We are offering a Crit ( an art college term ) in what we see in photos in the thread.
What one has to watch is how the impact of the Kilt wearing changes when the Colour of the Kilt hose is changed.
I believe a thread was posted....Ten different was to wear a Kilt.
A question was asked and I stuck in my five pence worth of info. ....................Roderick............15.10.15

Having 3 kilts in different lengths, I have abandoned my initial (p@nts-we@rer) anxiety about where the top of the kilt falls, and just peg the selvedge to the top of my knee.
As with early military kilts, they were all mostly the same length, and if the top came up to your armpits, so be it!
