SW standards are not PV. They are acrylic. USAK and Bearkilts are PV.

What is the difference?

Primarily to me PV is A LOT thinner. Acrylic weaves I've seen are about twice as thick as my PV USA kilt and less tightly weaved.

PV is a polyester-viscose mix. Acrylic is that, acrylic. The acrylic fabric is a lot thicker and feels looser than PV. Also, another difference I noticed is the feel of acrylic is a lot more fuzzy, actually PV is not fuzzy at all.

Not sure what you mean by fuzzy, but after wearing my SW standard in Nightstalker for a full day with a sporran, the front apron is decidedly pilled or fuzzed. Not sure if that is becaues of the construction or the material. Anybody have an answer? I feel like I need to "shave" the front apron before wearing it again.

It is the material. The more you wear it, the more fuzz is gonna pile up in the friction areas. Just grab a razorblade and carefully shave it, carefully!!!! You will probably have to do this evry once or to times you wear it.

I have two stillwater acrilycs (one standard, one heavyweight) and haven't had any pilling problems yet... maybe I'm just lucky.
