How would one go about requesting Poly-V in a specific tartan?

Josua,

Unless Jerry has changed his manufacturer recently I think the kilt you purchased from him is woven from Acrylic, not P/V.

P/V is short for a Polyester and Rayon blend.

The only weaver of true P/V I would trust is Marton Mills in the UK. I know that their minimum order on a special weave is far less than most mills. I have requested as little as 14 meters double width, or 3.5 kilts worth.

But it is always best to call them and speak to Holly their designer. She is very helpful and willing to go the extra step. This way you are speaking directly to the mill and not a middleman.

From Florida dial 011 for international calls.
Then the country code of 44
Then the number 113-248-3364.

Please remember the time difference. They are 5 hours later than you.

If you do find that a minimum is required, you might try getting in touch with the Clan Davidson Society and see if anyone there is looking for a kilt.

Thanks!
I know that my SWK is acrylic. The quality got me thinking, if I had the choice (and I honestly have no choice, but to have a choice since no one makes a synthetic Davidson) between acrylic and PV I would go PV.

Truthfully, I think I could use enough tartan for more than 3.5 kilts, seeing as I would probably have a belted plaid, a 9-yard quasi-tank, a 5-yard for games, a kid kilt for my son, a kilted skirt and shawl for my wife made up.
