Either will be fine with me and I don't care about the selvege. In making a vest, it makes no difference.
I hear ya, Doc. I know this. The end price has to be significantly less than the cost of a custom weave or I won't bother. "Significant" means at least $15 a yard less, hopefully more like $20+ a yard less. That will save folks $60 to $70 or even a bit more in the cost of a kilt, which is worth it. If the price of the cloth that is workable for kilts climbs to over $50 a meter, when you can get gorgeous custom stuff for $65, it's not worth anybody's time.

I'm ninety-five percent sure we can pull this off, and we're getting closer.

If it flops then I'll be annoyed since I spent so much of my time, but then I've learned a lot by doing this, which is worth something in and of itself.
