Speaking of 16 oz Poly Viscose...

If so, I'd love to SEE a 16 oz PV kilt.

Here's one that's supposed to be 16 oz poly v. Maybe these guys can give you a lead on where they get the fabric. http://cgi.ebay.com/Free-P-P-Mens-Ki...QQcmdZViewItem

Clansman Knitwear has a casual kilt that they claim is 16 oz. polyviscose. However, I have asked for details and couldn't get any.

Heritage of Scotland sells the same heavyweight pv casual kilts for considerably less money and worldwide shipping is free. The only info I could get from HoS about the pv is that it doesn't have a Teflon coating.

Although Heritage of Scotland and Clansman Knitwear claim to use 16oz. poly,neither one will provide info on the mill the get it from. And that is the original question.

It is a bit worrying that on the website the description of the camoflage kilt is titled 'cotton' and then described as 'poly viscous'.

Doesn't engender confidence.

Poly-viscose is lighter yard for yard than wool. Therefore an ounce to ounce comparison is misleading. 16 ounce PV will, of necessity, be a tighter (higher pick count) weave than 16 ounce wool. Evaluating the two materials on the sole basis of weight is probably not the best way to do it.
