Please be very careful when you see the term P/V being used on the web.
P/V is short for Polyester/Viscose (Viscose is the British term for Rayon). so to be actually P/V the fabric must be a blend of Polyester and Rayon.
The fabric that everyone here raves about is woven by only one mill and that is Marton Mills.
Not all fabrics that are listed as P/V are actually a Polyester/Rayon blend. PV has become a sort of buzz word for any synthetic. If you are seeing a kilt in the 40-80 pound range you are probably not seeing a P/V kilt but actually one made from Acrylic.
If you see "Heavy weight P/V" listed you are most definitely not seeing a kilt made from true P/V as the fabric is woven in only one weight of 12oz. per fabric yard.
