There are many, many pictures on the 'Net to help you.
The top of the kilt should be right below your rib cage and the hem should sit at the knee.

I could tell you ...
Yes, indeed. Right under your ribs is your true waist and that is where a kilt is designed to look 'right'. This is also where you should wear your apron. I'm sure we all have seen 'shelf bib', that terrible condition where the bib or flap of an apron sticks out after a Mason rises ... wearing your apron at your true waist will eliminate that condition. True, it looks funny to our modern eyes at first, but it's where the apron and/or the kilt are meant to be worn.

Sometimes this condition is caused by the dreaded dunlaps disease --------------------- the terrible condition caused by lack of exercise and overindulgence when the belly dunlaps over the belt
this condition, late arrival at lodge meetings and short apron strings causes the apron to be worn too low.
There is where the problem was....lol. had the Kilt below my belly. Thanks, I'm gunna look some stuff up

LOL *snort*! We've got a few Brothers (mostly young) who wear their aprons like they were 'gangstas'. I really don't know how they stay on.Sometimes this condition is caused by the dreaded dunlaps disease --------------------- the terrible condition caused by lack of exercise and overindulgence when the belly dunlaps over the belt

I recall a FC degree at another lodge when the SD (who is about as big around as a pencil, with the same build) was leading the brother around the lodge and his apron, which had been up where it should have been, started dropping with each step and finally ended up on the floor at his feet when he stopped at the Master's pedestal. When he released the brother's arm he calmly bent down, picked up his apron, tightened, repositioned it and caught the brother's arm in time to continue (the Master did slow his delivery to give the SD extra time). I must commend the brothers of this lodge as they didn't snicker or comment on this (I think it wasn't the first time it had happened)and the new FC never knew what had happened.
All I can say is it is tough to catch your apron when your hands are full of rod and a brother's arm.

"What's Going On" is a song written by Renaldo "Obie" Benson, Al Cleveland, and Marvin Gaye. It was the title track of Gaye's groundbreaking 1971 Motown album What's Going On, and it became a crossover hit single that reached #2 on the pop charts and #1 on the R&B charts.[1] A meditation on the troubles and problems of the world, the song proved a timely and relatable release, and it marked Gaye's departure from the pop stylings of 1960s-era Motown towards more personal material. The song topped a Metro Times list of the 100 Greatest Detroit Songs Of All Time,[2] and in 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it the fourth greatest song of all time.
The song has been covered by multiple artists, notably Cyndi Lauper, whose version reached #12 on the pop singles charts in 1987.

While informative, anyone can Google facts. What is pertinent about your post in regards to this thread besides the title? I'll tell you; "What's going on", is that you seem to be having a great deal of fun posting meaningless thread responses all over our forum.
Just found out this morning that there will be a workshop in our Lodge Feb 11th. Something about buildings I think. :1-wink:
I may just come out of hiding for that. Work has had me doing double shifts every day for the last two months. No time for Lodge, no time for fun... Hopefully by then, I'll be back to the normal routine of enjoying hecatombs!
Please PM me the time when it becomes available.
Me too, please.
