    I've emailed and searched and can't find the source. 6 or 7 people have emailed comanies CLAIMING to use 16 oz PV and asking them if their origin is US / UK or Pakistan. No replies.

    The contest is still open. However, I believe that it's either a Pakistani company or the retailers are not being accurate in their descriptions.

    I'm still lookin'

    For what it's worth, if you do find a source for it, think

    US St. Andrew's
    Clergy (! hey, what can I say!)
    USAF, USMC, Navy and Army tartans

    While I'm at it, why don't I just make your life a living hell with my wish list.

    Sorry, sometimes I just get out of hand. sigh.

    And while it might be impolite for me to say so, it seems to me that the original founders of USAK could be rise above the fray and one either ask for the answer or one answer the question without being asked....

    There would be no losers and the rest of us would have more kilt options and drive more kilt intrerest, so everybody would benefit.

    I don't care where I get the info from and would be appreciative no matter who told me (even co founders of the company). The same deal goes for EVERYONE. Free PV kilt for the person who finds me the mill's contact info and there's only 1 person that claims to know how to contact them.

    I spent about an hour Googling and following links. I give up.

    I guess that I'm finding this sort of mindboggling because I can't think of how any company that manufactures a product that is the "raw material" for other companies can find ways to hide itself so effectively and thus isolate itself from any potential new customers. This is like a lumber company that sells to only a limited list of builders. I can understand the concept of proprietary information or processes because I've been "sworn to secrecy" about industrial processes that I've observed but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me that ANY manufacturer would be so cut off from potential new customers.

    Perhaps the internet isn't the best place to look for the information....most industries have services that publish directories (on paper...what a novelty!)...there must be a directory for fabric mills in either certain regions or worldwide. Are there some kind of licensing agreements in place that are making this next to impossible?

    Frankly, I think it's ********. There is no 16 oz poly vis. Whoever came up with that pulled it out of his butt whole.

    Should there be a dash or comma between butt and whole?
