Well here's my two cents. I am very happy with all my PV Kilts for all the reasons that have been put forth so far. As for the debate of 4 yard to 8 yard, well in my opinion the 8 yard is the way to go. Not that there is anything wrong with a 4 yard I just find that I enjoy the feel of the 8 yard, even for just lounging in. Oh ya my 8 yard Kilts are nearer to 12 yard (and that's not taken up in the waist, it's in the very deep pleats)and I find it very comfortable in all conditions.
You will have a few of Bear's Kilts to look at Sept 4th, but remember they all start looking better the more drinks you get in you.
