Hand-made:
This is a term often used incorrectly when companies imply that their kilt is made by hand. Hand-made can mean setting up the kilt by hand; however, sewn with a machine. It is important for you to determine whether the kilt is Hand-Sewn or Hand-Stitched, versus machine sewn.

Hand-pleated:
This is another word misused as some will try to infer that the top of the pleats are hand-stitched. The pleats are often set up my hand yet machine sewn. It is important for you to know that your kilt and pleats are hand-stitched or hand-sewn. It is difficult for a machine sewn kilt to offer the proper shape for fit and comfort.

Hand-stitched:
Hand-stitched refers to the ancient art of kilt making where the kilt maker would stitch the entire kilt by hand.
