Yes, I do know that PV is more expensive but not demonstratively. I would rather wait a bit longer and skip a few social outings and get the PV over acrylic. The comfort level is higher to me as well as PV breathes better and wearing for an entire day with all it's activities I find PV never chafing or irritating. Fortunately, I have no stories to add about flamability. I wore 2 PV kilts all over China last fall and they were great. Particularly for traveling I loved the low maintenance. I would shake out at night, hang and usually hung in the bathroom when showering for the steam.

Were are the pix? You wouldn't want to hold out from us would you?

Everywhere I went people wanted to take their picture with me. On the great wall I was stopped constantly. At the famous portrait of Mao at the entrance to the Forbidden City I started to get nervous, as the police began to take notice. I was not personally scared but I was worried for the Chinese people that they would not get hassled for having approached me. At the Terracotta warriors a group of elderly men, part of Mao's cadre replete with the old jackets and hats approached me. I really wished I had pics, but there were communist officials around and I did not want to cause offense. I shook each of their hands though and said hello. I don't know what they were saying but the kilt got lots of attention.
