    I can't nor will I speak on behalf of Rocky. But, I do know that some of their PV material comes with a fringed edge, at least the tartan. I can only assume this saffron cloth has that same edge, hence the hem. I think it looks fantastic.

    I really need a saffron kilt...

    The solid saffron bolt came, but some lengths had a very POOR selvedge. We hemmed this one (free of charge) to give a nice clean appearance to the bottom edge. It's not the 'tuck selvedge' that is preferred, but an actual hem 2" high done on a blindstitch machine.

    And yes... part of the reason we hemmed this kilt was b/c I wanted to play with the new 'toy' in the shop.

    Great. I REALLY appreciate this post. Now I want a semi-traditional even more than I did before.

    Anyway, it looks great. I can't wait to see it "in action".
