Poly-Wool?

[Beaumont]

Hi,

actualy I can´t reply for the tartan, but as a cyclist, I have experiences with many materials for the jerseys. I have a real vintage pure wool jersey, which, historical fun style put apart, sucks Than I have a pure merino wool modern jersey (with vintage look), which works just fine on the body, as you would expect - many days without odour, during a crispy morning ride you are just fine in it, it feels worm, you don´t overheat during the day (except the days where the temperature is simply too high), it is really comfy for the skin, a pleasure I can say. The downside is that you have to wash it manualy and it is a pain to get rid of the stains. Also, you have to be careful after washing to hang it carefuly
Than I got a modern jersey from the combination of merino on the inner side and poly on the exterior side and I have to say, this is it! Combines simply the best from both worlds - comfy, soft touch and insulation of merino against the skin, but easy care, machine washable, elasticity (you are not scared to put heavy thing in your pockets to not damage pockets and do not have a jersey twice as long as at the begining) and resistance against damage of polyester. Simply perfect!
So, the combination of those two materials works, I suppose it could be a fine idea even for kilt..
Hope you will find some advise from someone with a real experience with this particular tartan..

Have fun
