Interesting Video Regarding Kinloch-Anderson in Leith, Scotland

[Standard]

Great video, although I will admit to flinching a bit at about the 2 minute mark when the tailor ripped the tartan down the middle. Interesting to hear of the products other than kilts and jackets that they produce.

Interesting video. I like the idea of playing cricket in a kilt.

That is startling at first sight, but that's the way it's done. Typically one can rip a much straighter line than one can cut; and probably lose fewer threads than if it's cut with scissors and then cleaned up!

The weight of the fabric is significant, as is making a nice clip through the selvedge with room to grab firmly on each side.
