As far as I know PV is more durable and easier to clean - but wool has better thermal qualities (especially when wet) and is more breathable. So it really comes down to whether you want to prioritise durability over warmth or visa-versa. As I mentioned previously, if cost is a big factor there are plenty of options with the ex-hire market - but you might need to flexible in terms of your choice of tartan.
All three of these kilts cost less than £200 - all heavyweight tartan two are ex-hire, one is from a kilt-maker who sells pre-made kilts (just happened to be in my clan tartan and size).

Where would one look for ex-hire kilts? Is that something that would be available in the states?

I believe all of these provide international shipping
https://slanjkilts.com/clearance-kilts - a lot of these may only have been worn once as they do a hire to buy wedding service, but not everyone buys the kilt afterwards - tend to be more expensive than ex-rental but cheaper than buying new
https://www.mccalls.co.uk/products/ex-hire-sale - have a big annual sale in their shops but also sell some items online
https://www.facebook.com/p/Tartan-Co...0064839366786/ - not ex-hire but well-priced ready made kilts - check her post from 3 Oct.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_t...egorandmacduff - sell clearance lines and ex-hire through their ebay shop - but no kilts listed at present
https://stkildastore.com/store/Clearance - has a clearance line offering made to measure and ready made kilts
http://www.ministryoftartan.com/second-hand-kilts - sells 2nd hand and vintage kilts
