From Coat of Arms to Tartan: The Cadilhac Case.

[figheadair]

I know that you're the kiltmaker, and I'm certainly not, but isn't there a problem with double-width material and asymmetrical setts? Do you not have to cut the material, and then to keep the selvedge when you join the two pieces, the sett gets reversed?

There's only an issue with double width materail and an asymmetric sett if one tries to make an 8 yd (or 5-6 yd) kilt with half the length of the material required. The simple solution is to find someone else who wants the materail too, cut it in half horizontallly which will give two lengths of single width cloth.
