    PV can be done, but I, for one, would MUCH prefer wool.

    A 16 oz PV could even be done, but still in $20+/yard range -at cost- and need 300 yards. I'm not sure of the quality of fit-n-finish either, or the teflon coating that is on Rocky's fabric. I found this out as a by-product of a conversation about other material. That is A LOT of one tartan!!! (100 6 yard kilts in PV, I'm not sure enough of us would be interested in it to justify that kind of a run.)

    I am still curious about a 16 oz wool and the cost there from F & K.
    Steve, Steve, your the MAN!!!! You can DO IT!!!!!!!!

    Marton Mills web site says the minimum run is 130 meters (142 yards) and it is double width so we'd need about 45-50 people (assuming some would want and 8 yard kilt and some a 4 yard), which I agree sounds like alot. On the other hand a recognized kilt maker (Rocky, Steve, Matt, Bear - what ever happened to Bear?) may be able to get a smaller run, I don't know, I was just tossing out the idea.
