Lochcarron -

[Troglodyte]

The handle of this new cloth is much nicer their standard double-width. It's coarser and much closer to their older material. Looking forward to having this made up.

Do you know why Lochcarron abandoned their old single-width range?

What (if any, as I cannot really see how there could be) are the advantages of a tuck-in selvedge over a traditional 'kilting' selvedge?

Both Lochcarron and Marton Mills standard cloths seem to be tuck-in, whilst other commercial tartan weavers warn that a sewn hem will be required on a kilt made from their cloth, as it has no selvedge.

Marton Mills' cloth has quite a crude finished edge, from what I have seen.
