Selvedge Fuzz
I commented because out of three quite new kilts of different origins, two soon developed very obvious fuzz lines marring otherwise magnificent kilts. Yes the inside and outside are similar. The bottom 5/8" of the affected kilts has threads woven back in so is thicker giving a slightly different look that is accentuated by the fuzz line. It is a whole band of tartan and the fuzz from woven in thread ends is along the edge of the band so it could look worse. I am not being picky, it is obvious at a distance. My newest kilt has the RSCDS tartan, so cannot be old stock material yet has no obvious thickness change or fuzz line, nor do my other kilts. Even a cheap plain black PV one with fully sewn hem has no visible hem line! I am sure other clothing would be returned if made so. Shaving may help but fuzz will surely re-appear and the doubly woven bottom band will always be a bit different. My other kilts, be they old, new or very cheap, have no thickened areas, fuzz lines or fabric changes proving these problems are not necessary.
