Say Jimmy...Could you elaborate on this point a bit. I have a Lochcarron kilt made from two pieces of wool sewn end to end. The "joint" was made at the inside edge of a pleat so that it would not show even if the garment were fanned out on the floor. Does this technically make it a "multiple piece kilt and hence a s***t?
