Today I emailed Marton Mills to begin the process of getting different swatches in the different available wool weights along with the PV material in the tarton after Steve mentioned it would be quicker if I went to the source directly since Freedom Kilts does not have the "Spirit of Scotland" tarton on hand.
I'm believing that the PV is my ultimate low maintenance wash & wear material of choice for my application with the "perma-pleat".
I also learned that this kilt process takes a really, really long time from the beginning to the end! ....and I was hoping to place my kilt order in mid March (lol)
