    OK, for those that want to see them live, here is a link that shows all of the tartans in question: http://www.mindspring.com/~aquajock/marton%20tartans.htm

    Rocky,

    "SportKilt" is offering the US Army tartan in its "poly" fabric. Can you get that (or is that not poly-viscose)?

    Hey Woodsheal,

    Sportkilt's fabric is NOT Poly Viscose. They use a cotton poly blend that is much thinner than ours. Unfortunately, we can not get the US Army tartan in PV. We CAN get it in wool and make a 5 yard wool kilt, but they start at $350. Any other PV tartans you're interested in?

    After correspondance with Rocky, I will be getting PV for recovering my car seats in my roadster. Now, to decide which and how much . . .

    From what I uderstand and have seen, PV looks/feels much more like a mid-weight wool. Poly cotton is much thinner and is closer to a cross between flannel and light weight wool.

    I'd much prefer PV.

    Also, be warned: Only a few use PV. Rocky is one and (I think) Bear is another. I will not speak for others.

    OKAY! I'm In!

    Can't pass up a deal like this. Just ordered two casuals from Rocky, Gordon Red and Cladish.

    I like the color variety.

    no... they're not made in PV. The only "Irish" one we have in PV is the Ireland's National tartan.
