    So if I wanted to make a kilt out of the PV, could I order the material directly from the mill (which one?) and does it come teflon-coated or is that something that USA Kilts applies to it? I need something this hardy!

    Thanks!

    I think it comes from Marton Mills. As for the Teflon, I think Rocky and Kelly have a herd of free-range Teflon Trolls that they raise. When the creatures reach maturity, Rocky slaughters them and rubs their viscera all over the casual kilts after they've been constructed. Voila! Teflon coated kilts!

    I've also heard that the threads are coated even before they're woven into lengths of tartan. Since I'm not sure which is true, I think your safest bet is to just buy a casual from USAK. Or just stay out of the mud.

    See? You know what's up--Trasgo duponticus. I'd love to have a sporran made out of the leftover hide, but I don't need another dress sporran. Obviously no good for daywear...

    Well, this thread has broken down my resistance, which was feeble to begin with. Just pulled the trigger on a USAK Casual in Davidson. I have a few things coming up I'd rather not subject my good wool Davidson to, but I'd still like to represent.
