I've not seen that either.

Perhaps there are no authenticated great kilts in existence.

As the handwoven selvage would be 'perfect', consisting of a series of loops, the simplest of joinings would do the job.

Putting the two edges together and oversewing, whip stitch it is sometimes called, would make a flat join which would be hardly detectable after a while. When it was opened out it would hold the two pieces edge to edge, and it is easy to ease the fabric to match up any irregularities in the weaving - within reason.
