The implication seems to be that the grass-green binding is inferior in appearance to binding cut from kilting fabric. To me, it's the opposite: I think the green binding looks much BETTER than tartan binding. And it's more traditional to boot.
For one thing, tartan binding only matches up with the kilt's tartan in the front (except in rare cases). In the back it looks awful. The grass-green military binding looks perfect all over.
