    I wish that stores would just order-up stock from BearKilts, USAKilts, PittsburghKilts, FreedomKilts, and the likes so that folks will see what's out there! The same old, same olds are getting tedious! BlackWatch and the Stewart tartans are nice... but SHEESH!!!
    Oh, how I agree with you Jimmy! Those two tartans ARE nice but they have been SO over-exposed in the commercial world. However, if I wanted to look like a tin of Scottish shortbread biscuits then either of those tartans is what I'd be wearing!

    I bought one today, blackwatch. The service was excellent and the price was right lol. They said they had sold 3 of them today alone. And asked if I was with one of the rugby clubs. I guess the guys are buying them for keeping warm when they aren't on the feild. If you don't like having your kilt lifted by drunks, that would be a crowd to avoid lol.

    They told me they were wool but Al you said they are PV. How do I tell?

    See if there are any loose fibres or cut a thread off on the fringe. Light the thread with a match or lighter. If it melts it's PV if it's wool it will stink.
