    I don't want to be rude, but this statement needs to be corrected to prevent confusion. Rocky stated that PV (poly-viscose) nowdays was very different from the leisure suits of yore, not PVC. PVC is very different from PV. Also, Stillwater standard kilts are made of Acrylic, which is not the same as PV.

    Otherwise, your review was very informative. Thank you, Panache.

    Well, the information and the great reviews put me over the top. Enough waiting. I placed my order for the Saffron heavyweight SWK. At the same time I also ordered a Buzz Kidder Ribbed Sporran in brown. Almost immediately received an email confirming the purchase. Then 30 minutes later another email letting me know the order was processed and will soon be boxed and shipped. That was Friday so I should see everything in another couple of days. That's fast! I'm impressed.

    Once it's in I'll attempt a review. This was to be for our camping trip this summer to Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. If it passes with high enough marks and it is still available I may have to get the Black heavyweight as well. My wife has again said I should start wearing them more often. Nice to have the encouragement so I won't have to justify the handmade 16oz 8yd tank I am planning on in the future. Still have to learn more and see a few of those before making that jump.

    Cheers! Bill
