Fabric Question
New member here, first post. I'm not new to kilts but I have perplexing question: I have a kilt that was custom-made for me but the pleating was all wrong and did not follow the sett at all. I have now disemboweled it and am going to put it back to rights. My question is which side of the fabric is the outside? One side is rather flat with no nap and the threads are easily distinguishable. The other side has a fuzzy nap to it. It was originally built with the fuzzy side out, but now, after looking at a few pictures of others, I'm concerned that it may be bassackwards and the fuzz is supposed to be on the inside. Which is correct? I can't find any opinion among the DIY websites to guide me. I work with someone who makes garments as a side business and she said it was which ever one I wanted it to be. I personally think it looks better in a rustic, weathered way with the fuzzy side out. What say you all?
