Black Solid Kiltstore Kilt Revisited

[Colin]

I'm not a professional, just a member of a forum, but it looks a bit too short to me, sorry. It may look different with hose (either pushed down with boots, or up with flashes and shoes) as I always seem to see kilts worn with sandlas as looking a bit odd. It may just show too much leg, making the kilt seem less significant, without something breaking it up at the bottom.

I almost made the same mistake, fortunately I emailed the shop before the final order to ask about the sizing and measurements, and I was also able to get measured up at my local shop before ordering online.

Thanks, Collin, I didn't get dressed up to take the pics, I usually wear the sandles around the house, because they are the most comfortable shoes I own. I'll take a couple of more pics with pushed down hose and boots, to show off things a little better. Here are the new pics

It is a nice kilt, but too short in my opinion.

I could pull it down about another inch, but there are a lot here who say that the top of the knee is correct, and from what I can tell, the kilt hits just about there, as worn in the pics. However, like you, I really prefer mid knee. My arthritic knees just don't look good in my opinion.

Jerry, I think it looks fine. In the first pictures by the pond I was not sure. But really, it is at the top of your knee, based on what I can tell, and that is certainly well within the accepted range for kilt length. The real question is do you feel uncomfortablt wearing a kilt at that length? You'll get a range of "opinions" here on the "correct" length, but truthfully the correct length is the one you are comfortable with, just like the "correct" kilt is the one you like wearing.

This kilt might look ok if worn with proper kilt hose and shoes. The less exposed leg, the better. The more leg that is exposed, the more it tends to accetuate the higher hemline. IMHO

Generally, modern kilts are worn at the hips -- like jeans.

Yours might look better worn lower. I'm also one of those who like his kilts a bit long though. Mid-knee to bottom of the knee seems to look best on me. Anything shorter looks like a miniskirt on my short, thick legs.
