I have kilts in 13, 16, and the extra-heavy military weights.
I usually wear my 16oz IOS; it's my go-to favourite. It has around 7 yards so it's not overly heavy. To me that's the ideal kilt: nice 16oz cloth but slightly reduced yardage.
My 8-yard military weight kilt is considerably heavier but is quite comfortable to wear. I love it.
Once in a while I'll wear my 13oz and it feels flimsy and insubstantial. I suppose people get used to something and then anything else will feel strange.
There's a tartan I want, Portree, which only seems to be available in 11oz. I'm hesitating because I don't know if I want a kilt that's that light.
