    Hi GDub,

    From the looks of the photo there is a selvedge? Previously USAK did not have selvedge on the Ramsay tartan, and so it was fringed at the bottom.

    I'm looking to replace my USAK Ramsay semi-trad (now way too big for me), and if it's available with a selvedge I might buy a new one from USAK.

    KP

    It's a 16oz 5-yarder, which would make it wool rather than pv.

    Like chasem said, my Ramsay kilt is a 5 Yard 16oz woolie, not PV. And yes, there is a very clean selvedge. Also, I think there quite a difference between the wool and PV blues, and the blues in wool differ quite a bit between mills as well. In the wool samples I saw some are like a "French" blue and others are darker like a "Colonial" blue. Some also have a thicker, more pronounced white stripe. Mine is more like the Colonial blue witha thinner white stripe, though I think the "French" blue with the thicker stripe looks nice too.

    Sorry, no more pics yet. I've had a busy weekend...
