I would hold your fire and look slowly and carefully. The closer to home your kilt is made the better because you can be part of the process and get lots of information. I understand what you say about the light feel of your Sport Kilt. Some would say it is less a kilt than a skirt. There is no substitute for a 15- or 16-oz wool 8-yard kilt. Look slowly. Save your money. It will be worth it. I have two 8-yard wool and there is nothing like it. I have a 5-yard 16-oz from USA that I like very much as well but I repeat, there is nothing like the Tank.
