    SB, you had me doubting myself, so I went to check again and took the 2 pics below about 2 minutes ago! Here is the SW HW Shadow tartan:



    You have to look close, but if you do you can see the same overlock stitch seen in the AK. Especially near the botom of that pic you can see the "V" pointing to the right of the picture.

    However, the standard in Nightstalker does NOT have that finish, as clearly seen by the stray fraying on this picture:

    KCW, I have a standard and a HW. I believe that's more of an artificial [rough] selvedge than a stitch of any sort.

    Chasem, don't want to disagree, but on mine it is definitely an overstitched edge. Will try for a better picture tomorrow. The part that surprises me is that it is on my HW and not the standard. The HW is supposed to be SW's higher end kilt, so I would have expected this in the standard or economy or standard, not HW. Like I said, I did not even notice it until I got the AK and got looking because it blends in so well.
