    Looking for solid green kilt

    Hello Rabble, I'm wondering if any one knows who might be able to make a solid green kilt out of poly viscous material. I have already checked with SWK & USA Kilts and they no longer carry them or have the material available. Any suggestions?

    As you specify the fabric to be the Polyester/Rayon blend known as P/V that leaves you with those makers that use fabric woven by Marton Mills.

    Rocky and I are two. I have the solid colored swatchbook from Marton Mills but it is last year's version.

    I'll send them an inquiry asking for a current swatchbook before committing to offering to make this kilt.

    I have heard back from the weaver. There are 5 different shades of green available in the Poly/Rayon blend fabrics.

    Thank you Steve

    Thank you Steve for looking into the choices available for a solid green PV kilt. I think I'll hold off for now as the selections shown are not what I had in mind. I might just have to stick to a wool kilt instead.
    Regards,

    I've been wondering...how does a regular schmo like me (as opposed to a professional kiltmaker) go about purchasing solid-colored PV fabric? None of the retailers seem to carry it, and Marton Mills doesn't even list it on their site.
