What *is* the proper length for a kilt, anyway?

Aha. So having a man get down on his knees could be one way to check whether the length is proper? (Among other ways, of course.)

That sounds like a fine method. ..to..uh...check proper length.

It'll take some testing, I imagine.

I support this endeavor!

I just have to say that this post-and-comments has made me very, very happy that I'm a visual thinker.

Mmmmm.

It is supposed to bisect the knee. that allows for some variance because they do shift a little, but coming past the knee or showing thigh will get one snarked at.

Which is why Catholic Schoolgirl skirts are NOT kilt substitutes.

[diermuid.livejournal.com]

Nope, not at all. I've seen a few guys wearing them at Heartland, but usually with stockings and pigtails, so that was ok. (for values of 'OK' that simply mean the application fit the full costume concept)

But a good bit of fun nonetheless, I think.

More for you, dear. Not my game. :)

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Gladly accepted. *grin*

Always nice to have a man down on his knees, for whatever reason.

I would be happy to help in any way I can. ;-)

Reason #38 why I adore you, Nate.

You are a stand-up guy. On your knees, if you please. :)
