    Not all fabrics that are listed as P/V are actually a Polyester/Rayon blend. PV has become a sort of buzz word for any synthetic. If you are seeing a kilt in the 40-80 pound range you are probably not seeing a P/V kilt but actually one made from Acrylic.

    If you see "Heavy weight P/V" listed you are most definitely not seeing a kilt made from true P/V as the fabric is woven in only one weight of 12oz. per fabric yard.
    Steve: Thanks for the clarification. You ought to make that post a sticky for the benefit of future buyers.

    I've seen stuff listed as being PV and just KNOW that it can't be because the price is just too low...that's sort of a warning sign, too. It's nice material and you may get a break but if the price is ridiculously low BEWARE!
