I presently have an order in with John of Keltoi for my son's first kilt. His is being made of 13 oz cloth, and John makes the kilts so the little guys can get a few years out of them, i.e. there is a hem that can be let down to lengthen it, etc.

Personally, I am a traditionalist, and just can't get myself to like PV. It just is not the same as wool, but it does come very close. Also, depending on the tartan, it doesn't have to be all that cost prohibitive. I think I got a heck of a deal from John on the price for a child's kilt. Although, I wish I had the sewing talent to attempt to make a kilt for him. My wife the seamstress just doesn't want to get into making kilts because they just seem to be so labor intensive, and she is just not that interested in learning that skill set. I hope over time I can persuade her, as I know she could be a wonderful kilt maker if she chose to.
