Fantastic kilt

I wanted to get a kilt for outdoor adventures such as hiking , horse riding , owlbear wrestling that didn't cost too much so I wouldn't cry when if it got trashed . I went with Buy A Kilt & the kilt was much nicer than I expected & it came Fed Ex fast when I paid for standard shipping . Both pleasant surprises !

There's a couple of other pictures in a thread I made in Show Us Your Pictures .
I go on trail rides now & then . I don't know how well a kilt would work for horse riding but the old highlanders had to get around somehow so it must not be impossible ?

This appears to be one of those cases where the term PV is being used, perhaps without a full understanding, of what the term means.

P/V stands for a blend of Polyester and Viscose. Viscose is another term for Rayon.

From the site the specifications say the fabric is actually a 65% Viscose Rayon/35% Acetate blend.

Now I'm confused. If I click on their advert at the top of the page, then select kilts, I get a page on which there are kilts for sale which are clearly stated as being poly-viscose. Is this not then the case, Steve?

Interesting conversation here, and something we've thought about a few times.

To the best of my knowledge these kilts used to be made from Poly-Viscose fabric, which is where the name came from. At some point, the composition of the fabric changed slightly (for the better) and is now made with acetate fibre rather than polyester, which despite the name potentially sounding worse, is a better quality fabric.

Ultimately, the name is now out of date and should be updated to make it clearer. We just had a quick chat around the office, and we'll probably change them to be called 'budget kilts' in the near future.
