That's VERY wise. Might I suggest that you take the opinions of those with MORE than poly-viscose kilts to have a little more weight. You actually need to wear and maintain kilts for more than one or two materials, by one or two companies before you have any idea what the differences are.

As for Stillwater's materials: unless you have one, you really can't make a comment... and please don't. That's what starts CR_P information in the threads. I've modified about a dozen of them, and the material's really nice (especially for the money). It's MUCH thicker than poly-viscose, sews-up easier, tapers better, and is washable.

Swat... congratulations on the choice!
I agree Jimmy, I'm one of those who likes to feel the fabric before I make a purchase, had two friends with kilts who let me handle them to mu hearts content before I ordered my first wool kilt. Though I might just break down and order one in poly vis since I doubt that there will be anyone in my area ordering one any time soon. I have been hankering for a Bear kilt in the Nova Scotia tartan.
