Thanks for the input guys.
Colin. Yes, I'm going to wait until after Vancouver kilt night to decide, so I can get a good chance to look at the BearKilts. Xcop, Rob, I like those both, and may get a leather kilt one of these days, but I'd like a tartan this time around. Rocky, thanks for the points on the PV, I'm definitely considering it. I think I'd have to see a few more PV's in person before I'm convinced

One of the additional issues is that I might like to pick out an unusual tartan (like the NYC or California state tartans), and it looks like the PV kiltmakers have a pretty limited selection of tartans. Of course, I may just be making it artificially difficult, and I should pick out a PV kilt in an available tartan, and then get a wool one in an harder to find tartan later.

Anyone here ever try anything like the Breacon offered by Kinloch Anderson?
