Well, Karla, I am glad that we agreed to do this. Please enjoy yourself. When it comes to earning a living, I am truly a toff. People should do what pleases them rather than what makes money (e.g., accountancy, defending criminals, etc.). One of my exes was into textiles and we had a leclerc handloom and kromsky spinning wheel.

But I digress. The kilt fits very well, almost "bespoke". the issue to me was the lack of a "hem", but it sounds as if this is a real vintage kilt. So, I am glad you are enjoying this and I hope it is helpful to others. I am trying to figure out the technical talk and referring to Barb's book. But from what I am gathering, this is going to be an interesting thread.
