Hello Gwynn,

If I may use an example. The vehicle a man wants when he is 18-21 and chasing the girls, is not the same vehicle that he needs 10 years later to cope with an ever increasing family.

The same applies to clothing and in particular the kilt. If a man's lifestyle is such that he spends many evenings a week down his local 'rowdy' pub, he could do it in a 16oz hand-stitched woollen kilt. It will certainly stand up to it, but will require more TLC on a regular basis. A P/V kilt on the other hand will shrug off the beer stains and holds it's creases without much effort. Will the P/V look as good as the woollen kilt - almost, but not quite.

It will be up to you, to decide what you want to use it for and choose the correct material.

Oh, and why not pop over to the Newbie board and introduce yourself.

Regards

Chas
