I started many years ago with a Utilikilt...I think of it as the "gateway drug" of the kilt world...loved it - still do. Got great reaction, loved wearing it, so decided to go whole hog and got a 13 oz. 8 yd. traditional kilt. Don't wear the Utilikilt so much any more, so am wanting to expand the wardrobe a little. The traditional is still in great shape, but needs a slight alteration to fit a little better.

Can I get some experienced advice about wool VS polyviscose? I see that PV is really much more affordable as I look on various sites (yes, Ebay too, but £50 for a PV...really? That cheap?). I guess that my question is, am I being a total snob about wool kilts? A lot of you guys are liking the PV and looking good in the pics. Is it worth the cost (even as minimal as it is) to try one of the less expensive PVs from a place like Buyakilt.com or better to search on line for a good ex-hire in wool or just start saving for another wool traditional? I live in SoCal, so a heavy weight for warmth is not really an issue. Looking good is!

Advice is much appreciated. (If you happen to have a 36"x24" -ish you don't wear anymore hanging around the closet, go ahead and PM me. Who knows it might be the what I have been looking for!)

cheers,
Gwynn
