I have a shadow tartan black 5 yard PV and a 4 yard tartan wool box pleat. Both are very servicable. I also have two 7-8 yard wool kilts. I like the feel and drape of the wool much better than the PV which seems a bit light to me. PV is also cooler but I don't think it breathes as well as wool. But that's what I think. PV is is washable, though! Let us know where it all shakes out for you.
