We don't worry about that in a shirt, but in a tartan kilt, well I don't know about that. Would appreciate your comments on this. Thanks- Longforgan
    I think most people with poly/viscose kilts will attest that is it a great material for kilts. The matrial is very different from what you will find in shirts.

    My only suggestion would be (since you are in Washington State) to come up to one of our monthly Vancouver Kilts nights (we have had several Washington and Oregon visitors over the past year or so) and check out Bear's handiwork and see the poly/viscose in person. Plus the pints run freely, the band is great, the company of other kilted brothers is a blast, and the women are beautiful.

    There are a few detractors of PV kilts around here. The only gripe I have with them is the weight (or lack thereof) so they are more sensitive to gusts of wind than a heavier wool fabric. Knowing that I am still buying PV kilts. It looks great when new, and looks even better when washed a couple dozen times.

    We'll try and find you a good pint or two. I know what is like to be spoiled by some good micro-brews, and you guys in Washington and Oregon have a few great beers. How far into Washington are you?
