Interesting study...

I think he's just a little fella.

I think so too, but check the size of those meat hooks. The guy would have made one hell of a lightweight division boxer!

Doubt it. No shoulders.

Cool picture and really enjoying the subsequent dialogue.

It's refreshing to see a kilt length hit the top of the knee, and the hose several fingers below.

But doesn't everyone dress like that?

When I wear kilt pins like that, I wear them halfway up the apron, but when I wear a clan crest or sword kilt pin, I wear it in the corner of the apron.

I like to flash a little knee hi obsession with covering them baffles me.

The sporran has an over-all length of approximately 18 inches (the Jock probably stands about 5'7" in his socks). The kilt is an inch or so above the knee, and the hose tops are about "four fingers" below the knee-- just about the perfect length for both kilt and hose. Kilt pin placement is also pretty much spot on-- even for civilians.

Not sure I'd agree on his height there, sir. If that kilt is standard 22 oz cloth then the distance between yellow stripes is about 7 inches (or 1/2 of a full sett). Considering the top third is covered by his jacket, and there are about three inches from the seveldge to the first yellow stripe, and assuming a minimum 3-inch rise, I'd estimate the kilt to be not less than 25-26 total inches in length. That's a kilt more like for a man 5-10 to 6-1, depending on rise.

He also seems taller than 5-7 compared to the scale of the chair he's standing next to.
