Regimental kilts, fringed?

OK gents, and ladies...quick question:

other than with the Toronto Scottish and London Scottish, I have been able to find no reference with regards fringing of the outer apron on regimental kilts. Does anyone know if they are fringed or hemmed?

As far as I'm aware, MoD kilts don't have a fringed apron.

I have several that were made by Thomas Gordon and Sons. All of them are hemmed.

Thanks gents, confirmed what I figured. The Toronto and London Scottish Regiments have an added dark blue fring on their Hodden kilts, but its virtually impossible to tell from pics regarding BW, CH, Lorne or any other with dark tartans.

I've been considering getting my next Kilt in Macloed Highland Regimental but it seems that it's a very difficult tartan to get, let alone in a regimental weight, does anyone know of a Kiltmaker that can get it?

I can get the tartan, but not in a regimental weight. I can have it woven in a heavy worsted though, 16 oz per yard. The STA notes for the tartan give a date of 1800 and list Wilsons of Bannockburn as the source. I could have it woven up in Wilsons' original color scheme -- and if you wanted to be really authentic, make it into a traditional box pleated early nineteenth century kilt -- all for only $480!

OK, commercial over now. Seriously, though, I'd be glad to help. Email me if you are interested.
