Selvedge fuzz
I have two kilts with an unsightly line of fuzz about 5/8" up from the bottom. One is an expensive 4 year old Hector Russell 16oz made from Marton Mills Isle of Skye fabric and a fuzz line had appeared by its second wearing. The other is a cheap two year old made to measure in Glasgow 13 oz Hunting Sinclair ordered via e-Bay. Its fabric maker is unknown but an identical fuzz line soon appeared. My 13oz RSCDS tartan kilt ordered at the Gathering off Geoffrey (Tailor) has no fuzz line or material obviously woven back into itself. When Marton Mills were challenged they said "Oh fabrics off the new looms do that, just shave it off". I ask how and must it be repeated from time to time? I think it is poor as it need not be like that.
