The Holy mantra of 8 yard tank, 8 yard tank

And as an aside, that lovely honey-brown Harris tweed kilt and jacket photo from the museum, above, is not really a mid-nineteenth century kilt. It's a modern kilt, but made in the earlier box pleated style. Just so there's no confusion!

We do have a few vintage kilts in the museum from c. 1800 to 1850, though.

Matt, does that jacket have an uneven hem or is it just a trick of the camera?

As a persnickerty sewer, I have spent several minutes glaring at the right side of it with an intensity likely to cause spontaneous combustion in the actual article.

The left side seems to be beautifully level, but the line looks to wander downwards on the right.
