I've been lurking on this site for a while and looking to purchase my first kilt, just for fun. I'm aware that the PV kilts aren't the "best" available, and I've read a lot on these forums about the Gold Bros businesses, but I'm not in a financial position to be spending mega bucks on a kilt at this stage.....i'll save that for further down the track!

Now, I've stumbled accross this, which is in my opinion a gorgeous tartan, but i have a question for those of you who are more well versed in kilting.

I'm quite.....thick......around the middle, but I am also very tall. The 48 will fit around the middle just fine, but I'm concerned about the overall length. I'm six foot eight, so I don't know if the standard "approx 24 inches in length" is long enough. I'm about 20 inches from my hip bone to the absolute top of my knee, and I think I'd prefer the kilt to come to about mid knee.....is 24 inches likely to be big enough?

If not, has anyone had experience in asking HoS or Carse of Gowrie for a "custom" length kilt?
