nearly all of my kilts got a hem, even a tank. in fact i quite unnoticable, specially when it s stiff worsted wool.
in order to get pleatings on one of my casual kilts sharper, that got wandering pleats (but that has nothing to with casual kilts) i was also searching on an other method to get a selvedge.
geoffrey tailor proposed it to me, not without telling me that it would cost the price of a new kilt. he would also have hemmed it.
jimmy talked about the paraffin, which i m still unable to find down here in europe. also geoffrey never heard from it. so my chances to get some from a eurpean seller are near zero...
my mother made a cut from top of my military kilt. look out if this could work on yours, watch out the breech,
but i would say that is rather a solution for those under ripcage kilts, but perhaps...
then good luck and give me wink if u found the paraffin ;)
