I have began to order several 16oz. 5yd. Kilts from different sellers such as Burnett & Struth, Tartans Museum, and another coming in from St. Kilda next month. I have always been a traditional 8 Yd. 130z. Kilt wearer, but now I am in LOVE with these kilts. I prefer the way they are less weighty, and alot more comfortable, and honestly I cannot tell the difference! I was always under the impression that one must buy an 8yd. 13-16oz Kilt for it to be an "authentic" kilt until years ago I saw a blog by none other than our esteemed Mr. Newsome that stated the historical facts about kilt yardage. Anyway I am glad I went this route, and am happy, with the Kilts I now have in my possession. I would definatly recommend these Kilts, especially the one ordered through the Tartans Museum with its hand stitching and superior buckles. The Macdonald of Glenaladale from Burnett & Struth's is also a beaut! probably the most attractive Kilt I have ever owned.
