I would be glad to comment on this material, when it arrives, to give you my impressions, if you would like....

I would VERY MUCH like to hear that. We'd be buying a custom weave of their 16 ounce.

Colin, are you listening? Comments specifically about the Frasker and Kirkbright fabrics selvedge would be extremely helpful.

Sorry guys, I have been so bogged down with big projects at work and at home that I have not even started my kilt yet. I know which fabric beerbecue is talking about, and given his experience with making his own kilts, you guys would be better to listen to his opinion on the material. I have posted my opinion on the stuff that I have several times in the past in regards to this material.

LOLOL, I *just* messaged you! Then I come back and you're on it, already.

Pretty funny.

I know you like the cloth itself. One of the issues that some folks have raised is about the selvedge. Any comments about the selvedge, specifically? You've been clear that you like the cloth itself, very much.

Sorry Alan, I don't know much about the selvedge of the material at this point. As soon as I have enough room to work on my kilt, I will be able to check out the selvedge. If it's any help, I am buying more fabric from F&K, so if a cheaper bastard like me apporves it can't be too bad.
