Pilling?

I have a P/V kilt that has been through probably 50 washing machine and dryer cycles. It looks just like it did the day I made it. I have never re-pressed the pleats.
That has been the only real disappointment that I've had with any of my SWK's, is that several of them have started to pill pretty badly under the sporran. If (as had been indicated below) the PV used here is not the same as the acrylic used in an SWK, how does your PV stand up to the chafing of having the sporran rubbing on the apron, Steve?
Thanks for any info,
Brian
