I have several wool kilts in a variety of styles, and I own one genuine PV Casual from USA Kilts (I plan to get another one). I like them all!

The beauty of PV for me is that it is more carefree than wool. The Casual with its Velcro closures is much easier to adjust when I change positions, like sitting to/from standing. I wear it mostly around the house, though I do take it out from time to time and it always looks good. I doubt many folks can tell that it's not wool.

Often, after a shower, I fix a drink, wave to the neighbors, grab my PV, wrap it around me like a towel and kick back and relax. I may have the sequence slightly jumbled (I flunked astronaut training), but you get the idea.

I prefer my wool kilts when I want to look/feel more traditional, eg get in touch with my Scottish heritage. Also, they seem to hang and sway better than PV. My subjective opinion is that PV feels cooler in hot weather than even my shorter-length wool kilts. I have no objective data to substantiate that feeling, however.

Good luck in your decision. The only "wrong" decision would be not acquiring a kilt.
