While considering the pourchase of my first real kilt, I am having a tough time determining the right weight. Cost wise, they are all within about $75. It is wearing the kilt that I question, and which weight will feel best. Most advice I have from everyone here is get the best and heaviest you can.

I might start attending Burns dinners, but for now it is Scottish Fairs, St. Andrews Society gigs and of course something nice to wear. My family tartan is available in the following weights...what should I do? Help please!


11 oz. light weight
13 oz. medium weight
16 oz. heavy weight
16 oz. Strome weight
