I've seen two contradictory statements, both by very well known (on here) and well respected kilt makers.

One said that that a traditional kilt is not supposed to be hemmed and the other essentially said that other kilt makers don't hem their kilts because they're too lazy and that this kilt maker estimates that their clients merit that the extra work is done to hem the kilt by hand to favorise swing, fluidity and esthetic equality.

Who's right?

These are two very respected kilt makers. I'll NOT name names (this is not a slanging match (my kilt makers better than yours, sort of thing)).

I've got a hemmed kilt and a non hemmed kilt and I don't think that it makes much difference but it just surprised me to see two very good, well respected kilt makers saying dramatically opposed things.
