Came across a fellow who has several kilts in P/V. He said that they were 16oz. The thought is intriguing. P/V is usually around 12oz...never have I seen 16oz P/V.

He says that the vendor he ordered from swears that it's 16oz and specially woven for them.

A few questions popped into my head.

1) is there a different standard for weighing fabric from mill to mill/vendor to vendo?
2) is it actually P/V?
3) there sems to be a large demand for heavier P/V. If it actually exists then why isn't it offered elsewhere?

I really like the smooth hand of P/V. My only irks about it are its light weight and limited tartan range. Other than that I love it.

Would the experts mind clarifying these points for me? Thank you.

*Disclaimer: not stirring the pot. I am genuainely curious.
