The pv material USAK uses is from the Balmoral range of tartans made by Marton Mills. Standard tartans in this range come from the factory with a fringed selvedge. USAK does not make the fringe. The tartan material that USAK special orders (like the Ireland's National, American Heritage, US Navy and US Army tartans) is ordered with a straight selvedge. So, the type of selvedge your kilt will have will depend on the tartan.
