Robert's kilt was made by someone who was paying attention to detail. It required the maker to rip the fabric across the bolt, then stitch the pieces together to make a kilt length. That way the pattern is running the right way.
lol...ya' know...I hadn't really thought much about it until now. It looked just like my uniform (not to mention it was the only one I could find then) so I bought it. Good info though, Hiker. I did not know about the lay of the cloth and all. I'm quite impressed with the quality of the kilt though. Sport Kilt has always provided me with quality kilts (not to mention quite affordable to ). Now if I could just find an Air Force cammo cover for my bagpipes!
