wearer's height?

[Barb T]

And I've found pretty consistent differences in height/length proportions for men and women. Women tend to have longer waist/knee distances relative to their heights than men do. Some of the longest kilts I've made have been for women who aren't nearly as tall as the men for whom I've made long kilts. In fact, my daughter's kilt is longer than my husband's by an inch, and she's 5'5" and he's 5"10".

I concur, from my bicycle racing experience, women have longer legs and a shorter torso. It makes it hard to get road racing bikes to fit the women. Women usually need shorter top tubes. I suppose it is the longer legs that make the kilt longer.

I was asked my height when I ordered a 23" length kilt recently and was told 23" seemed unusually short for my height and they would make the kilt 23.5 inch length, as it could be altered if it was too long but nothing could be done if it was too short. My kilts range in length from 21" to 24".

I guess it depends on your height. What is 1/3rd your height?

Height 69"; therefore one third is 23".

I am 6'5" and use a 25" drop. 77/3= 25.7! Looks like its close!
