For Christmas this year, I bought Panache a Stillwater Heavyweight Green Shadow Tartan kilt and we were very impressed by the length, swing, appearance in the sunlight, etc. Now, he had bought himself a Black Shadow Tartan previously and I couldn't help but notice that it was somewhat too long compared to the Green. We got out the handy tape measure-sure enough, 2 inches too long! He e-mailed Jerry, who said this had happened once before, but since he had owned it nearly a year before noticing the length, Panache certainly did not expect him to fix the problem. So, we decided it was time to hem. We checked with Panache's favorite tailor, who offered to hem it for about $30.00, and I (foolish immortal) thought to myself-I can do this, it's just a hem, right? Panache mentioned to me that many people are put off by the fact that Stillwater only does one length, and that hemming it strikes them as a difficult chore. So, here is the process.

Pictorial to follow.

Be well,
