    Seems like the question about any "entitlement" to wearing a particular tartan has been adressed...go ahead and wear just about any tartan but be knowledgeable about it.

    As to the length issue, it's been brought up several times before. I'm only about 5'10" and seriously doubted that the 24" lenght would be right...I assumed that it would be hanging below my knees but I was wrong. True, the top is sitting very close to the bottom of my ribcage but that actually feels just right now...very comfortable, in fact. The wide expanse is broken up by the belt and sporran and, as I've commented before, it's almost like a snug tummy and back support. I'd try it...wear it a couple of times before you start thinking about hemming it. I was convinced that I'd have to hem mine but I was dead wrong...it falls just at the top of my kneecaps which is fine.

    I am 5'8" and the 24" was no problem for me.
