I have found 13oz. P/V!!!

You know, I bet he'd sell a LOT, if he wove up 20-30 meters of X-Marks tartan in PV.

Yep. I was thinking the SAME thing.

As far as the popular tartans. I think I would go for a Gordon modern myself. No connection, but the tartan has really grown on me in the last year.

Black Watch is good for me since its my clan tartan. The X-Marks tartan in PV is also a good idea as they already have experience producing this tartan in wool.

I'll second (or third, or fourth, or whatever) THAT, Alan H. I would love to have an X-Mark kilt but I just cannot afford wool and this would be an excellent alternative choice.

I also agree that another Black Watch is a bit much. A Black Stewart or another beautiful tartan, such as Kennedy, is what the world needs these days.

The Gordon is beautiful.

I'll send this directly to the e-mail provided, but I'm suggesting
1. X-Marks
2. MacDonald variants (Glengarry, Glencoe, Clanranald, etc.) There are a ton of Clan Donald folks out there that would like an option other than "MacDonald Modern", and most of these variants use the same colors.

A bit off topic, but this is the place to pose this question based on the information in the first post.

.....presented me with what we believe is the worlds first true 13oz. 65% Polyester / 35% Rayon......

So this being said, should one look for polyester / rayon blend as opposed to ployester viscose? Or are rayon and viscose the same thing? I only ask because I've been looking for PV and can't seem to find it. I never looked for polyester / rayon though.

Yes, "Viscose" is the UK term for what we call "rayon" in the US.

No wonder all the ladies at Joann's looked at me funny.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Once at my local Joann's I asked a clerk how many ounces were in a yard of a poly-cotton twill. She gave me a nasty look and announced, "There are 36 INCHES in a yard."

Well, your first problem was going into a retail ladies fabric store.
Your second problem was already knowing more than the sales people.
They know Quilting not Kilting. They can tell you how much the fabric they have is per yard if they read the little tag. They can also usually tell blue fabric from red fabric.
If your looking for P/V Tartan go to Marton Mills.
