You say the same about the Poly/Rayon offered by USA Kilts.

Perhaps you could say what tartan you are looking for to narrow things down a little.

I like the muted colors of the weathered Black Watch, so something that is in that vein would be ideal.

I also notice that you have not mentioned any specific design parameters that you consider important.
Is machine wasability important to you?
Are you perhaps looking at the synthetics for their machine washability or is price the more important factor?

Machine washable would be nice, and while the price is certainly a factor, I'm more concerned about buying the right one the first time (to avoid buying twice).

How about manufacturing considerations? Are you looking for the internal construction elements of an Iconic kilt or are you looking for the less structured construction of the casual or pub styles?

I'd like something that will stand up to rigorous use, and my understanding of th PV material is that it doesn't need internal elements to preserve the fabric the way wool does- is this correct?

Can you be just a bit more specific about what you want to do in your kilt?
For example a kilt for yard work would lend me to point you towards a different kilt than one for "around town". (Which is a pretty vague description of what the activity is. )

Let's focus on a yard work kilt, with activities such as mowing, edging, tree trimming, weeding gardens, etc...

We may be able to help better if we had more specifics of what you are looking for.
Thank you in advance!
