I've actually owned a couple of the HoS "PV". They are very heavy, almost Carhardt like material. They are fantastic for knocking about if you're a daily wearer. The major con is the material is stiff and boxy.

I highly suggest that you choose a maker who uses PV from Marton Mills. The difference in hand and comfort with the "PV" sold by HoS and the others on eBay is night and day.

Those kilts are actually poly-acetate, not poly-viscose, and NorCalPiper is correct, they have a thick, stiff feel. I don't own one but have handled them... I've heard that they loosen up a bit once washed.

As for price, I'd say get one from The Scotland Kilt Company. Same kilt but lower total price because they have free shipping to Canada while Heritage of Scotland makes you pay. I've purchase from both companies and they have provided efficient service... just don't expect a top quality item at their discount prices!
