Why hand-sewn?

[Scotus]

Didn't the founder of Utilikilts, though, say something to the effect that he never based the Utilikilt on a traditional Scottish kilt? Hopefully someone will help me out on this, but I seem to remember reading this somewhere.

I wanted to jump in here; sorry it's a bit late. Yes, Todd, I believe this is true.

Now, on to hand hand sewn kilts. I think there is a certain amount of care that can be taken in a hand sewn kilt that just isn't possible in a machine sewn kilt. I used to be involved with theater and we have a small theater group here at the parish. The costumer does a lot of hand sewn work, and when it comes to pleating and other details, it is so much nicer than machine. I think the same can be said of kilts. I know I haven't offered anything earth-shaking to the conversation, but I wanted to give my two cents.
