Nice looking kilt! If anything, I'd bring the hose up a bit and the sporran down.

There we will have to disagree! His hose look perfect to me.

The subject of kilt length and/or hose height comes up often, and I've shown a number of pictures from the 18th century through to today showing that these things have stayed fairly consistent.

It's true that there's a quite recent fad amongst members of civilian pipe bands to wear their kilts down around their hips like jeans and pull up their socks all the way to their knees, leaving little or no knee showing. This flies in the face of around 300 years of tradition.

I have hundreds of pictures, but one from each of three centuries will suffice

18th century
