[Kiltman]

I was headed out to the Base and got to thinking about RKs. Since I normally have double wide fabric there is a join in the middle of the back. In a knife-pleated kilt the fabric runs in the same direction both before and after the join. Is that true in a RK? What is your experience? Just asking.

If you are using the selvedge for hem, then the fabric runs the other direction -- just like a tank. If it all needs to run the same way, have the selvedge at the hem on one half and the waistband on the other half, and hem the whole thing.

Or you can cut 60-inch lengths (have to do for some camo prints, corduroy, etc.) and have more joining seams with the material all running the same way.
