Just from the photos, the finish on the wool looked course and prickly. I had been looking quite a while ago and then backed off in favour of having a kilt made in Scotland instead.

It is somewhat course, just like the military kilts were, but it isn't prickly and it is warm. It's like wearing a blanket.

Bubba, in your pics what is the thin green line between kilt & shirt?

[Andrew Green]

Glassman:
The green thing is part of the kilt. I am not sure what it does, perhaps it marks the top of the rise, perhaps it was used to ensure proper dress (such as aligning one's belt)... any other ideas?

[chasem]

It's simply the waistband. As to why it was made out of green cloth rather than tartan, I do not know.

[bubba]

The green is the waistband. It's authentic to military kilts and still used today. Since those pics I altered it buy covering the green with black bias tape. I think it looks better and was an easy modification.
