Go for the officers tartan trews. Ref Jacobite Times.
Many WW1 Infantry Officers wore both Horse riding Breeches and Kilts.
Horses for officers before the days of Fwd personel carriers vis Jeeps. General Purpose Transport.
The Infantry did not ride Horses. The Scottish Horse did !..... Remains of a Cavalry Unit. !
Skirt wearing ladies rode Side Saddle.
Were the army trying to get officers out of their Kilts in WW1?
Should horse riders Wear a Biforcated Modern Kilt ?

This appears to be one of those cases where the term PV is being used, perhaps without a full understanding, of what the term means.

P/V stands for a blend of Polyester and Viscose. Viscose is another term for Rayon.

From the site the specifications say the fabric is actually a 65% Viscose Rayon/35% Acetate blend.

Now I'm confused. If I click on their advert at the top of the page, then select kilts, I get a page on which there are kilts for sale which are clearly stated as being poly-viscose. Is this not then the case, Steve?

Interesting conversation here, and something we've thought about a few times.

To the best of my knowledge these kilts used to be made from Poly-Viscose fabric, which is where the name came from. At some point, the composition of the fabric changed slightly (for the better) and is now made with acetate fibre rather than polyester, which despite the name potentially sounding worse, is a better quality fabric.

Ultimately, the name is now out of date and should be updated to make it clearer. We just had a quick chat around the office, and we'll probably change them to be called 'budget kilts' in the near future.

Just to let you know, we've now updated all our 'poly-viscose' kilts to now be called 'budget kilts'. We feel this is a more accurate name for them. http://buyakilt.com/kilts

Yes ,as there is a huge difference between PV and Arylic . please make sure the customer
knows this , just changing it to Budget kilt might not be enough . I understand that a kilt
under $100.00 should be a clear notice that the kilt is not high end but even a PV kilt is nice.
But the Arylic kilts not so much .
