If the herringbone stitch is done correctly, no one will know it is hemmed. I even took a hemmed kilt that was partially completed, no lining, belts, or buckles, and showed it around at a St Andrews meeting. No one even noticed that it was hemmed until I asked if they could tell it was hemmed. It really works well.
Good luck,
