I don't know enough to say what kind of selvedge that is (see the other thread), but it has a nice, clean edge.
You sir are correct! That exactly describes them. Like i said, it dosnt detract from the kilt at all, and i wouldnt have even seen em if i hadnt gone over the kilt with a fine tooth comb. I wonder if everyone that gets a wool kilt for the first time wonders the same thing about those funny little holes.
