Tiresome Technicalities.

[ObiSeanKenobi]

There are more than a few kilt makers on this forum, so it only stands to reason that discussion and conversations may tend toward that direction. Personally, I find the minutiae of the construction of the kilt fascinating from a craftsmanship point of view as well as a sartorial one. Many of those fine details, in my opinion, contribute to that mark of quality that one looks for in a long-wearing kilt (or any article of clothing). Knowing the difference between, for instance, top-stitched vs. reverse-stitched pleats in the fell enables me to look more critically at the offerings available and make a more informed decision as a consumer at the start, rather than finding out some number of years down the road that a manufacturer skimped on some detail or another and my garment is now falling apart at the seams and in need of repair.

So, in my view, these "tiresome technicalities" actually hold quite a bit of value to at least this reader, and I suspect at least a handful of others. To each their own, of course, but being fairly new to kilt-wearing, I find it helpful to consume as much expert discussion and opinion as possible.
