Readers;
Here is a good one for the Readership:and just maybe someone has the answer.
1st Background, in the Wait Painting of the "Grant Piper'-circa 1725- the pipers Great Kilt is bound with a contrasting fabrick trim. I am sure that the cut ends might be bound(think of the binding on blankets) to keep it from unravelling, but not the other edges-selvage-
So, the question, is this a lost fashion trend, or a bit of Grant family history(in view of their 'war kilts ')or ???
As a side bar, I have trimmed my 'pre Culloden'' kilt with cotton twill tape, and I like the look of the kilt with the trim. You can also use the trim to hide some weight to hold the kilt in place in the wind!
And thoughts from the Pros??
Mr.Anthony
