One of the minor annoyances of tuck-in selvedge. It makes me appreciate Ken Dalgliesh's tartan all the more....

The Geoffrey (Tailor) RSCD 13 oz material may be their own manufacture, I suspect they have sole rights. Regardless it definately has no thickened edge and despite much energetic dancing and a dry cleaning remains as new with the loom sprocket holes still visible on close inspection. On the two kilts mentioned, the fuzz lines almost highlight the fact that the thickened edges look a bit different to the rest of the fabric. None of my other kilts, be they old or cheap have fuzz lines or thicker edges. I will locate a fabric shaver and see what happens, a safety razor in my clumsy hands may nick the fabric. I presume the shavers are those for removing pilling but I doubt any would handle the huge pilling balls now all over my old acrylic kilts.
