    Frankly, from the discussions on this topic that I remember, the only PV that's worth using is the Marton Mills stuff and you'd have to buy it directly from them or through one of the North American kiltmakers who offers the service.

    Other PV has popped up once and a while but is usually considered too lightweight to be of any use.

    I may be wrong but did Fraser And Kirkbright do some PV at one time or another? They're in Canada, though...not the USA proper.

    Thanks for the advice. I have been looking through all the other forum threads and can not find any suppliers listed for wool or other materials as well. Do you have a recommendation to use newbie Kilt Makers? I am looking for some cheaper common tartans that I can use for learning before moving into the $40+/yard range.

    Thanks,
    Daniel Wier

    Not sure how much they retail the fabric, but one of my friends got some from J. Higgins in Lenexa, KS that his wife made his kilt out of. Their website is jhiggins.net.

    They made both my good wool kilts, and are super to deal with.
