    SWK does custom lengths all the time, just not thru the website. You would need to contact SWK directly. Lots of Xmarkers have custom-length SWKs.

    Yep. I just got a SWK Black Watch heavyweight 22" long custom in the mail today!! (I know, I know. Pics may have to wait until tomorrow).

    I was also able to get in touch with Jerry this morning, and I'll have a 22" long Macrae inbound at some point.

    Note that the nonstandard length kilts are made when ordered, so you don't get the typical "received it before you ordered it" service that you typically get with Jerry. I just couldn't bring myself to hem up a kilting selvege on a 16 oz wool kilt.

    I'll have to look in to that as well, what does he charge for the hemming?

    I'm 6'2"+, 230ish lbs, with a (somewhat) athletic build. My SWK Standard settles just below my navel on my natural hip, and hits just below the top of my kneecap. Couldn't ask for a better fit in an OTR garment!
