I just received a utility kilt made from Viscose Acetate, not the Poly Viscose made by Marton Mills. Except for being a little on the light/thin side (maybe equivalent to 9/10 ounce?), I have to say that the colors and sett of the Royal Stewart matches my wool kilts from the 1950s/60s better than any of the acrylic/cheap wool kilts I have seen. The feel of the fabric is very much like my older wool kilts, other than the fact that it is thinner. There aren't may tartans available in this material from what I see, but I'm anxious to see how well it holds up.

Other than being made "elsewhere", what are the issues with this material? I've searched the forum and about the only thing I can find are statements similar to "it's not Poly Viscose," but that doesn't really explain what's "wrong" with it.

Thanks!
