    There have been several threads on hemming a kilt,here's one. You should also consider getting a copy of The Art of Kiltmaking. It has excellant info on altering and caring for a kilt.

    Yes, that was it, exactly. Thanks so much. I will look into the book. Or possibly a seamstress.

    Thanks!

    Rex, I am not associated with Barb at all, but buying her book will repay you, even if you never make your own kilt. Knowing how a kilt is made and what to look for to determine a quaity kilt is also spelled out in her book. The $18 (is that the price) you will spend on her book will save you money in the long run, especialy if you are going to purchase any kilts from lower quality/lower priced kiltmakers.

    I tend to wear my SWK at or a bit above the navel. It felt strange at first, but it's completely natural to wear it high now.

    You keep doing that and you'll be arrested for indecent exposure!

    Ummmhhh, what part are you wearing at the navel? The waist or the hem? Could make a big difference with those who see you!

    If you read the original post, then Nicks, you get the impression that the hem is at his (Nicks) navel.
