Having recently seen a kilt made in the Caithness tartan, I am very impressed so I am going to have a word with our local kilt maker and see if they can make a 5 yard in 16oz knife pleat (they are currently making me a 8yd 16oz strome in MacLaren ancient)
I think a 5 yard-ish would be better for daily use (and cheaper on my pension). I will wait until I get my tank.
Thank you all and will post pics.

Chris.
