    There has been discussion of this in kiltmaker's forum (IIRC). Some mills are weaving so that the "good" side of fabric has the twill running opposite from traditional weave. Kiltmaker's choice is to use the "poor" side of fabric (which may not have as nice a selvedge, may have minor slubs in fabric, etc.) to keep the twill running the trad direction, or put the twill in the opposite direction to use the better side of fabric.

    Consensus seemed to be that using the good side of fabric is the better idea. Few if any will notice the twill direction when kilt is a'swingin'

    Nice tartans BTW!
