    I'm confused as to the difference between a selvedge and a kilting selvedge...

    The selvedge is just the edge of the fabric. Therefore all fabric has a selvedge.:-)

    By "kilting selvedge" people mean a selvedge that is suitable for making a kilt, which traditionally does not have a hem. This means a closed selvedge with a clean edge.

    From what I've read, the only difference is a hem, & a slightly lighter weight (13oz). Of course, that was online...
