How about a run of X Marks Tartan fabric-a Poll

[attworth]

I think a lot of the votes for PV include people who already have a wool variant.

I'd like to get a wool one, but if PV is run, I'll probably go for it.

P/V is the only thing I could afford right now. That's what I voted for, only I can't make a firm commitment at this point in time.

Is the poly/viscous similar to SWK's standard kilt fabric? I am tremendously pleased with my SWK standard and it would be cool to have an x-marks kilt made of the same material!

Actually, I think most people would agree that the Martion Mills PV under discussion is far superior to the acrylic fabric used in SWK standard kilts, both in terms of tightness of the weave, and pleat holding ability.

For sure Monkey,

I have purchased 22 USA Kilts made of Marton Mills woven Poly Viscose material.

I have yet to purchase an acrylic kilt from anyone.

There is a sound reason for my decision - value....my opinion of course, others may make other choices.

I'd love to get some of the PV. I don't currently own a PV kilt and I want one. So why not start with an xmarks kilt?

pv wont make a very good kilt as it crushes easily then twists a lot when wearing, it is also very difficult to hand sew, machine sewn would give a better finish to it, it can still have a traditional finish, 16 oz wool, you cant go wrong with, its the best, depends how good you want to look and how long you want yr kilt to live, yes live ! pv kilts are for tourists that just want to have sum holliday fun. if your serious about the kilt then you will save and get a proper one 16 oz, and if u find wool scratchy, you can have a longer lining put into your kilt to avoid the itch,

I have a proper kilt in wool, in fact I have two. I love both of them very much but they are not always practical. In very hot weather I prefer my pv USAK. I dont sweat around my midsection quite as much and the kilt still looks pretty traditional. I have have had no issues as far as the longevity of my pv USAK is concerned, and I have heard no complaints from the other board members either. Sure, a pv kilt may not out live me, but for 1/5 the price of a wool kilt, I am happy with its performance.

I am really surprised at the vote,I am sure no one will be surprised that I voted for wool.OK, please enlighten me.What is so good about PV? I am very interested to know.

It is affordable for those of us not in the rich category and can not afford 600-700 for a kilt.

We all want quality, craftsmanship, perfect fit and all that good stuff, but reality sets in and I'll take a cheaper fabric that will make ke happy in the tartan I want to have a kilt made of.
