Hand Sewn, but where?
I was taking a close look at my kilt last night (preparing to roll it for storage instead of hanging it) and noticed some details I had previously missed. The stitching, which I have never really looked at, is obviously hand sewn. Under the lining, there are large inverted 'V's of stitching. Would the maker have a mark anywhere, or is that not the traditional way of doing things?
It is an eight yard, sixteen ounce Dress Gordon.

Some kiltmakers may not have any identifying marks.

All my hand sewn kilts by Kathy Lare have a Kathys Kilts label and my other hand sewn from Celtic Croft also has a label.

Two of my kilts are older handsewns with brown leather straps and no label. O'Neille
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come. --William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

My A&J Scott has a label and brown leather straps, but I supose that a kilt doesn't really need a label.
