Not just one loom, Rocky, but many looms. They began life as the same kind of rapier looms which most mills use these days, but HoE had them specifically modified so that they could continue to produce kilt cloth with a traditional closed selvage. It was something that was very important to them - and if anyone purchases a kilt that is made by HoE kiltmakers they will notice a swing-tag on the kilt which specifically mentions the traditional selvage.
