Wool kilts vs. Cotton Jeans
Is 2011 the year wool / PV kilts make a come back? ![Very Happy](http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
following a chain of events among major Asian cotton producers that has choked off global supply.
The price of raw cotton reached 90 cents a pound this year, up from the 40 or 50 cent average,...
So come January, besides paying more for cottonwear, there may be one more side effect for consumers - the comeback of polyester. Or rather, poly-cotton.

How bad of a kilt addict are you when you see shifts in the world markets and ask how it will effect Kilts
