Viscose is UK-lingo for what we call rayon in the USA.
"polyester-rayon"...it sounds HORRIBLE, doesn't it? It sounds like a bad joke full of sweating and leisure suits.
It's not. The material is great. I own three kilts in it, and wear them all frequently.

Not exactly true. That may indeed be the common usage, but the fact is that Rayon is a trademark and polyviscose is the correct generic name for Rayon and several other related materials. Calling it PV reflects that fact that it probably isn't Rayon (TM).
