PV vs Wool

[Riverkilt]

Well David,

I have a lot of both wool and PV kilts. Wear them both all the time. Plenty of pics of my PV kilts in my gallery if that helps any.

You won't be disappointed with USA Kilts semi-traditional.

I'm one of those guys that was leary about PV too. I had a lot of kilts before I "risked" ordering my first PV kilt. I thought all the talk about USA Kilts was hoopla from shills.

Since getting my first PV USA Kilt I now own 11 PV casuals and 3 Semi-trads with two more semi-trads on order.

I sit for a living, which makes kilts a very comfy choice. PV doesn't hardly wrinkle up at all on the pleats. I do get wrinkles from my belly overlap, but they don't show. At the end of the day when I hang the kilt up I use a Black and Decker Gizmo to steam out wrinkles. They drop out right away, no problem.

I can wash a PV kilt in the washing machine and let it hang dry. No problem. I've always been a sloppy eater. The teflon coating makes my food and beverage dribbles not a problem.

The look of the semi-trad is the closest to a hand sewn of any non-handsewn kilt I've seen. I can't see any way you'd be disappointed with a semi-trad. More than likely you'll wear it proudly.

Don't know if this means anything, I hang my semi-trads intermixed with my wool hand sewn kilts.

In fairness, have never seen a SWK offering. And, that's only due to my standard length being much different than their standard length.

Of course, my advice is to buy one of each. You know you're gonna eventually anyway.

In addition to Ron's excellent observations, PV won't "pill up" nearly as badly as the acrylic fabrics. I love PV, and just wish it was produced in weights heavier than 11 oz.
