    Re: Apron Overlap, he wants it on the left. Help!

    Your memory is just fine!

    Yes indeed, in my youth it was not uncommon to have this done to add extra years to a fine kilt. I can't say that I have noticed one like that recently. I honestly believe that many of you are overthinking all this and it really is not a big deal to anyone other than to the customer.
