Odd selvedge
I have some fabric a fellow brought me to have a kilt made, he got it quite cheap probably because of this flaw. It seem to be a traditional selvedge and is perfectly fine on one edge but on the other the orange and green weft threads seem normal but all the other colour threads where they end jump across to where that colour occurs again. My question is can the just be cut off or will that cause problems. If I can’t cut them I suppose I'd have to hem the whole thing which would be a pain because he’s a big fella and that’s a lot of yardage. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks
Here’s the wonky edge

And the normal edge
