    P/V stands for Polyester/Viscose This is a synthetic blend fabric of Polyester, and to use the N. American word, Rayon.

    There is only one weaver of kilt quality synthetic Polyester/Rayon. That is Marton Mills located in Otley, England. Just NW of Leeds.

    The Marton Mills P/V is 375 grams per linear meter or 250 grams per square meter. If we compare this to how we weigh other kilt fabrics it would be 12 oz.

    It is woven in the ratio of 65% Polyester and 35% Rayon. It is teflon treated to repel stains and is fully machine washable and dryable.

    I have been using Marton Mills P/V for many years. My rental fleet is made exclusivly from MM P/V.

    Any kiltmaker who has an account with Marton Mills should have their swatch book. There are just over 150 Tartans available in P/V with more being added each year.

    If you do not have a kiltmaker near you that carries the Marton Mills fabrics I would be willing to order for you and have it drop-shipped worldwide.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
