Well you are probably correct with the theory OCR , but in reality I have never seen or heard of the books you mention. We just wear our kilt attire as we have always done and have dressed by eye and example not by theory. It was more like , and still is , “ you make it and I will fly it” type of thing and the theory and construction and general kilt attire terminology has always been the same when discussing things with the tailor, --------who by the way, was local and Savile Row trained------ and was not an issue or real interest to the client.
I have no real idea how tartan, or, a kilt is made and I have no interest in knowing and I cannot recall in a fairly long life, ever having discussions about kilt attire construction with anyone apart from the tailor in brief outline and members on this website . I honestly think most of us kilt wearers around here have actually ever considered it. Why would we?
I will enquire around the locality and see what they say. Oh dear, I can see another “ Jock Survey” coming up!
