    "They offer a triple fringe on the right front apron."

    What's that sorry? I'm a complete kilt novice

    I am seriously considering Geoffrey (Tailor) as they visit London and this would be easier than getting up to Edinburgh.

    I've read mixed reviews for them though which but with most things, you can never please everyone. From pictures I know the style I want and believe i've chosen my tartan. I just hope all that's left is picking the right tailor and for a good price. I want to make the right choice as I know it won't be cheap and am looking at forking out anywhere betten £800-1000.

    On the right-hand side of the apron (as worn), there's a fringe comprised of the bare horizontal thread ends. Some kilt have a single strip of fringe, some have two. These people apparently offer three... though to be honest, I can't imagine why

    I guess more rows implies a better quality kilt?
