Moosedog
correct.
There's actually a Canadian company (not sure of the name) that weaves 8 oz PV in the Canadian tartans (provinces and Maple Leaf). It's VERY light weight.
Batley (mill in the UK) weaves PV, but it's not as nice as MM's and their tartan selections basically double MM stuff, so I buy from the better source.
I have heard of some companies that sell Pakistani kilts that claim their product is PV. I don't know if they are ACTUALLY PV or another synthetic fabric, but the quality is poor.
