    Take it from 2 of the (and probably THE) BEST of those that deal with the stuff. I've only touched stuff from them and don't know any other, nor the differences.

    Reading the tag on my old black watch sport kilt MacWage, and I see you're right.
    I don't know ccga, I'd feel a little weird asking them for yardage, especially because they're apparently the exclusive producers of henderson in pv. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to shoot them an email and just ask.
    Normally I'd go with a traditional wool kilt, but being a college student, money is tight, and the pv, from what I've read, makes an excellent alternative, especially because its cheap.

    I once asked SportKilt about buying some of their California Tartan fabric and they were quite willing to sell me yardage at $30 a yard.

    Might as well get wool at that price.

    Oh, nice. Seven tartans, including one I might actually use, at £5.50 the metre. Hmmm. Thanks for the link!

    I agree with Rocky, MM has the best PV.

    Marton Mills, got it.
    Actually, after what Alan H. said, I think I'll give them an e-mail and try and get my hands on some henderson. If not, I'll definately turn to MM. Thanks everyone!

    Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing Lamont in PV either. When I finally do make the move, I guess I may have to shell out a lot more than I had originally thought.
