Poly-viscose tartan...

[MacMullen]

My wife made my kilt of of a heavy poly/rayon and several kilt wearing folks have mistaken it for wool. It hangs and swings just right and it's very comfortable. It's a Black Watch from the fabric store for $3/yd. That said, I'm also looking to get some P/V tartan fabric in the MacMillan tartans, so I'm also looking for a good source with good prices.

TartanWeb has P/V, but they're located in the UK. The link is to the MacMillan tartan, because that's the one I had bookmarked, but you can search from there.

If I order fabric from the UK, what charges are added in besides shipping?

The Scottish Weaver is in the U.S., but they have a very limited selection of poly/acrylic tartans. The price is definitely right though, @ $14/yd, but it's only 10 oz. fabric.

Bear told me to check with the kilt makers here in the U.S., as he apparently can't export to the US from Canada? I'm not sure if I got that right, but it sounds like government BS.

The best source is still likely from Malton Mills directly. You will have duty to pay, but they will have the best selection http://www.martonmills.com/

I have had some luck with local fabric stores, but the PV is the lighter weight variety and would likely not make a very warm kilt, and the tartan is very limited.
