Field Testing the PV Semi-Traditional

**pdcorlis** · 5th February 07, 09:40 AM

Great review Ron. I own two semi-trads from Rocky and Kelly - they are fantastic PV kilts - and now that they are expanding their PV tartan range there are even fewer reasons not to buy one!

Don't know if this helps McMurdo,

I buy my kilts for where I'm gonna be wearing them in general.

At the top of the line, so to speak, are my hand sewn traditional wool kilts.

Next, for when I wanna look sharp, but might not wanna "risk" the hand sewn, like bouncing around the back roads of the rez, I choose the Semi-trads.

The teflon coating on the semi-trad is a great back up to my klutziness, or the environment I'll be in.

Last trip to the Grand Canyon I spilled orange juice on the apron of my Isle of Skye hand sewn wool. Was trying to "drink and drive." Boy was that a fast pull over and clean up. Freaked me out. While I'd chosen the Isle of Skye for pics I normally would have been wearing a PV kilt for such a trip for just that reason....or UK "Scottish jeans."

I agree with RverKilt....I now own a USAK SemiTrad (Clark Tartan) with 3 on the way....( 1 is for my dad) . I also own 26 handsewn Kilts (10 I cant wear because I wore them when I was a wee one but will pass on to my kids when i have them) But I now wear the PV semi-trad all the time , the teflon coating makes them practically bulletproof . Infact Rocky and Kelly's workmanship and attention to detail rivals some of my Scottish Handsewn Kilts. I HIGHLY recommend the PV semitrad (or casual) for the warm weather or when you feel wearing the Tank isn't practical. I have even worm my PV with my PC to a wedding and no one was the wiser. Again I highly recommend them to ALL.

Ron,

Did your passenger need to cover their hears? I know what I'd be saying if that had happened to me.

I've got two USAK casuals and I love 'em. I'm itchin' to get a semi-trad. I just wish Rocky's PV supplier had it in one of the MacIntosh Tartans. Wouldn't be able to resist, then.
