Years ago Scotweb did have completely handsewn kilts on offer at no extra cost. and later they had the handsewn option (for extra cost).

It has stood up to the rigors just as well as any of my other fully handsewn kilts. Personally, if you have the option of purchasing a handsewn V a mixture, for the same cost, I would go with the handsewn, a true tank
