Thanks for jumping in Josh. I've learned something new. I've many contemporary kilts (Freedom Kilts, Utilikilts, Pittsburgh Kilts, AmeriKilts etc.) with hemmed bottoms. Of course my hand sewn wool kilts are all selvedge edge. I only have PV kilts from USA Kilts and of course they use the selvedge edge or fringe - depending upon how Marton Mills runs the cloth. Don't recall ever seeing a hem on a tartan kilt.

And thanks for the tread and buckle info...sometimes impossible to tell from the monitor rather than being able to eyeball the kilt.

Maybe Brice can answer about the length. Just measured one of my semi-trads and it was 20' of material, just under 7 yards. As mentioned above I know "8 yards" is a term that doesn't necessarily mean exactly 8 yards...just still curious about the length, pleat depth, and reveal. Not to compare kiltmakers but rather to get a feel for this kilt.

Thanks
