Bodhran4me: Thank you for the correction, I meant PV. The main purpose is everything from lawn work to running around town. I have a tank on the way (Dutch Friendship tartan purchased from Riverkilt and modified by the original tailor, Kathy Lare) that will be set aside for less strenuous activities. The real question is, will wool stand up to the rigors of yard work, or should I consider the PV option? If PV, any suggestions on a muted universal tartan sililar to weathered Black Watch that USAkilts offers in PV?

KingAndrew: I’ve looked at the Stillwater offerings, and the limited tartans keeps putting me off. The only one Stillwater has that I’ve put in my cart (3 or 4 times now!) is the Weathered Mackenzie in the Standard kilt (acrylic). I’m concerened that the acrylic will be a loose weave similar to the UTkilts (I have one that I really don’t like).
