    This thread could have easily degenerated into an ugly mess, but it didn't. There was a complaint, some expert answers/explanations, lots of commentary, and Nick's response to the original complaint. Nobody stooped to name-calling or threats or any other junk; we've all acted like big boys. Hooray for us!
    I'd like to second this. I belong to two forums online, and I'm happy to say that both are generally marked by good manners and polite conversation.

    Re: Is this how all Scotweb kilts look?

    I have found this thread very interesting and informative.
    I had an issue with the edge of my Strome tank when new until I learned about the different type of weaving. After a discussion with my local kiltmaker, a light pressing with plenty of steam and hanging on a proper kilt hanger overnight solved all the problems.
    As with anything new and hand made, it has to settle and this is more important on old traditional looms. I do not know how far the kilt was shipped but would not expect it to look pristine on arrival. It took several days of wearing over a few weeks for my tank to be "Run In" just like one used to have to do with a new car.
    I am awaiting my new tank and expect to "Run" that in over Christmas and new Year.

    Chris.
