    I'm a buyakilt.com fan too. I have their Heritage of Scotland 8 yard P.V. a Black 8 yard P.V. and a 5 yard Grey Granite kilt. They seem to be well made, with great quality, and great fit & feel. To me the P.V. feels like gabardine wool, instead of worsted wool

    The fallowing statement is just my observation, and not a response to any one's post on this thread:

    I think that if the poster t_challa (as well as myself, and many others too) would not have had the opertunity (or motivation) to get started (kilting) if inexpensave synthetic kilts wern't avaliable.

    I know that I started with about 5 non-wool kilts, and now have those 5 kilts + 4 made to measure wool kilts as well.

    I can say with out hesitation, or reserve that if the less expensive kilts hadn't been avaliable as a "starter" kilt, and full wool was my only option, than I'd probably never have ending up buying a kilt, any kilt, much less (to date) 4 full wool beauties too.

    The "entry" level kilts allowed me to find out how much I enjopyed kilting, and those first P.V and synthetic kits were what motivated me to go a bit further.

    That first $65.00 eBay kilt was the seed that motivated me to spend the other monies, and most of it (proportionately speaking) in Scottish stores, and with Sottish tradesmen.

    While I've heard that some people don't think that there's a place in the kilt world for the "Pakistani kilt" (which I'm using as a generic name for most non-Scottish made, non wool kilts), it would be interested in knowing just how many (initialy) eBay kilt purchasers (as in my case) have gone on to generated loyal, and happy full wool Scottish made "tank" and "Casual" kilt customers.

    While we'll never know the answer to that question, it would be an interesting answer just the same.

    Just my observation. AND, I like buyakilt.com. They look great and wear like iron.
