    Thanks for the advice! I think I'll have it professionally altered because the herringbone looks too easy to screw up.

    Not so! It's dead simple, merely tedious. It's like a blind hem stitch, moving backwards.

    I've had 2 pv kilts hemmed by a tailor. Stillwater puts a note in their pv kilts recommendi.g a blind hem stitch.

    When I picked mine up from the tailor he thanked me for the fun job as it was his first kilt. I think I paid about $25 for it to raised about an inch and a half.
