This is for evening wear year round in a globally warmed Scotland. its probably the only new kilt i'll ever buy so i am anxious to get it right. Is either weight better and is the difference important; ie if first choice tartan is available in second choice weight of fabric do I go to 2nd choice tartan or stick with second choice fabric?

My current kilt is 60ish years old and i dont feel capable of doing the math to determine what weight it is.

My own feeling is that what I like most about kilts is the swishing feeling when dancing reels and that heavier probably = swishier.

All advice gratefully received.
