Hi guys

Matt's observation that the waist is the "soft spot" between the top of your hip bone and your rib cage is right on the money. I'm just worried that his suggestion that a kilt "rest on the top of your hip bone" could be interpreted lots of ways, I think.

A traditional kilt is meant to rise 2" above your waist, and people's hip bones are definitely below the waist (as Matt says). What you _don't_ want is to buckle the kilt so loosely that the top band of the kilt sags down and rests at the top of your hip bone. A properly-worn kilt does kind of "rest on your hip bones" (i.e., you can feel it there), but the _top_ is a good deal (maybe 3" or so) above the top of the hip bone if it's worn in the way the kilt was measured to be worn.

Cheers,

Barb
