    * Sigh * Guess that meansLOCHCARRON OF SCOTLAND's Highland Granite tartan is a tuck-in selvedge... When the time comes that will be the tartan of my first traditional kilt, so I guess I'll have to live with it.

    I'm even more moss with envy now that I found out Rex's new kilt has a closed selvedge .

    * I'm only joking about having "to live with it." It's a wonderful tartan. It's 16 Oz Strome fabric ! That's what matters to me.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    All 9 of my tanks have a tuck in selvedge and, to be honest, I quite like it. You have to get up really close to even notice it. And when you do see it, it looks like a normal part of the tartan, probably because the weaver took pains to make sure the selvedge aligned with the color patterns. It feels different than the rest of the tartan. But who is going to be feeling the edge of your kilt anyway?

    Not that I'm going to lose any sleep over this, but ..... since I do have an order in the queue for a kilt in this tartan from Professor Tewksbury, I can't help but wonder if that is the case.
