    Pretty sure that my Arizona Flag tri-color kilt from Pittsburgh Kilts is twill. Looks like twill, feels like twill. Pics in my gallery. Or can email direct if you want...can't post to this place yet some techie stuff I don't get about the gallery site and this place. Used to have a gallery here but seems those days are long gone.

    Think Jeff has pics of it on his website gallery too.

    ANYWAY...yes, twill good stuff. Wears good, washes well. I don't iron it, just use weighted clips on the seams while it dries.

    Jeff makes first quality goods. You have nothing to worry about with anything you buy from him.

    I have two other non-twill PKs, the desert and the forest MARPATs.

    No problems with any of my PKs.

    Oops, rooted out the original info on designing the tri-color PK and it was made from 9.5 oz brushed bull denim twill from Carr textile. It isn't 12 oz twill.

    C'mon Ron, it's not rocket science. Read the thread I left in the Show us your pics section. Use the IMG tags with the picture's URL in the middle and voila -

    Thanks again for the info and opinions. Anyone have a clear, close-up pic of the 12 oz. cotton twill? (not the washed-out pic at the PK site)

    I do now.
    One
    Two
    Three

    I posted them as links simply because I don't want to aggravate anyone who doesn't wish to see. The fabrics beenw ashed with fabric softener several times as well as worn a fair bit.
