Hi Colin, I was hot on the trail of a Bear kilt but have just been told that poly/viscose tartan is a print and does not go through the thickness of the fabric properly. Also most of us are familiar with print fabrics in our regular clothes. (shirts etc) The do look kind of phoney to me. We don't worry about that in a shirt, but in a tartan kilt, well I don't know about that. Would appreciate your comments on this. Thanks- Longforgan
