    If you're talking about a trad kilt, it wouldn't be traditional to have a fringe at the bottom. A trad kilt is made with the selvedge at the bottom.

    I have some of the Fraser and Kirkbright XMarks tartan remnant that has the damaged selvedge. I do not want to hem it. So, I will be making a kilt from it "with a fringe on the bottom" (apologies to Oscar Hammerstein).
