    PV weights

    Hey Rocky,
    I know its been mentioned before but I am unable to find it.

    Do any weavers/manufaturers of Poly Viscoses material make a heavy weight line? I keep seeing different companys advertise 16oz PV kilts.

    Thanks in advance,

    The ONLY Poly Viscose material woven in 16 oz comes from Pakistan / China. It's a much 'looser' weave than the 11 - 12 oz PV from Marton Mills that we use. It also has a strange feel to the cloth.

    Marton Mills has stated that they don't have any plans of weaving PV in any weight other than 11 - 12 oz (I've already asked).
