    Depending on where your navel is, and who the kiltmaker is. Not all navels are born in the same spot, and some kiltmakers create them to be worn at different heights. The mid / top of the knee is the measurement to use. To achieve that, mine is well above my belly button.

    What do you call a hula-hoop with a thumb-tack stuck in from the outside?

    I go with mid-knee. It is what I am comfortable with.
