    The military style kilt is worn above the short ribs. About 2-3 inches higher than a standard kilt that might be worn above the navel.

    As an example, I wear a 22 inch kilt with a 2 inch rise (the magical 24 inch kilt from Stillwater), and with a WPG kilt, it is close to 27 inches overall.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    I'd also suggest hitching it up a bit more. However, if it doesn't work out, or if you find you don't like the look of the extra-high waist, I'm sure someone here would love it.
