 turning your fabric 90 degrees...
I have a friend who is seriously jonesing ( I love that phrase) for a suit similar to the one here
To make this kilt the fabric had to be turned 90 degrees so that the selvidge ran verertically instead of horizontally as in most normal kilts (in pinstriped fabrics the lines run the length of the fabric - not across. the across lines form the verticals in kilts, which i am sure you all know already)
woudl it be considered a crime to turn Tartans in a similar way? I have seen some fabrics that have a very strong stripe that when made into a kilt woudl create a less than attractive (IMHO) pattern across the back end. but if turned that strong stripe coudl be quite interesting to work with. It would mean piecing the fabric to get the proper yargdage but the seams could be hiddne inthe pleats...
woudl this be a crime against huimanity in the kilted courts & get me excommunicated from the tribe???
