    Buzz Kidder Kilts

    Do the Buzz Kidders fit like a traditional kilt,with the top close the bellybutton or lower down on the waist like the Utilikilts? I've seen pictures of them and it's hard to tell.

    I found another thread and the answer. The first search I did came up negative due to a mis-spelling.(I THOUGHT this had came up before). Whoops.

    Was just at the Mesa, AZ Highland Games and there was a BK booth there. If I remember correctly their kilts were on mannequin type holders...like a skirt holder. They were at what would be pant waist size on those.

    Last year at the Flagstaff, AZ games the BK folks just laid their kilts on the table.

    Sorry can't be more help SB, but thought how BK displayed them on the skirt holder might help...was more pant-like.

    I found some threads with the answer. I did a search and made the post when the search came back negative. Not long after that I rememberd seeing a post on them and searched again. Thats when I realized I'd goofed on the spelling.

    I have 2 Buzz Kidders and wear mine about 2 inches above the naval. Mine are the standard 22.5 length, and they hit me right at the top of the knee. I'm 6'0" tall.

    I must have some really weird dimensions. I wear my kilts about 2 inches above my navel, right over top of my lowest ribs, and I wear 24" kilts to get them to hit right at the top of the knee. And I'm only 5' 8". Or is it that I really tend to wear them MUCH higher than I think. Who knows.

    Weird indeed. I'm 5'8 and with a traditional kilt worn at my navel it's 21" to the tops of my knees.

    I'm 5'3" and still order 21", altho a recent FKilt arrival measured 22" and fitted well, maybe I have grown?

    I'm 5'8" also and wear 23" that I find difficult to keep at my knees so I guess we all are weird but that's okay, who wants to be normal? (Sorry, I can't define 'normal').
