The maker who hems ALL their kilts says so up front and is VERY well respected on this board.

I do not know why and cannot find the quote on their website just now, but you really shouldn't be casting stones until you know why you are doing so.
I don't think anyone has said that a hem is a bad thing. I can think of many reasons why a kilt needs a hem and we do not know enough about BCAC's kilt to make a full judgement

What we DO know is that he was told by his kilt maker "that other kilt makers don't hem their kilts because they're too lazy and that this kilt maker estimates that their clients merit that the extra work is done to hem the kilt by hand to favorise swing, fluidity and aesthetic equality" which is just a misleading statement without a proper qualification as to why something was done that does not appear to be traditional and was seemingly unexpected
