(trad) kilt length vs body type

[Cygnus]

My understanding of kilt fitting is that it should be worn anywhere from level with the navel to two inches above it. I am also a bit short on torso and so wear my kilt only one inch above my navel rather than the usual two.

From what I've seen at games and other events, I'd actually say that most folks wear their kilts too low, not too high. Most men wear their trousers a bit low (or really low in some cases) and this seems to be spreading to kilt-wearing as well.

I do agree with you that your kilt looks a bit on the long side (though it's probably sitting at just the right spot). While it's not "traditional" to hem a kilt, you might consider having it done. I know that Lady Chrystel hems a lot of her kilts, and Barb Tewksbury has posted on how effective and unnoticeable a good hemming can be on a kilt.
