I purchased some tweed fabric from Marton Mills recently, curious what the fabric was like. I have five yards of the black watch weathered, and I think it would make a nice kilt. The texture of the fibers makes it difficult to assess the quality of the selvedge. It looks very nice and straight, but I was under the impression that tweeds aren’t usually produced with a good enough selvedge to make a kilt without hemming. Those of you with tweed kilts (especially if you have a tartan tweed from Marton Mills) - is the bottom edge of your kilt hemmed?
