I recently acquired what I believe to be a vintage Gordon Highlanders kilt (c. 1950's I was told) and as I was donning it today I noticed that the twill line runs what I believe to be backwards. I understood that the twill line should be a "backslash" (according to Barb T's wondrous tome), but this one is a "forwardslash". Not that this makes the weeist bit of difference to me (or probably anyone else) in the long run, but I'm curious what the tartanologists and rabble general have to say about it.
