Congratulations Mychael on your very worthy and comprehensive assessment.

I have to agree with our good friend Rhino, however, as I have never really got very excited about the fabric weight of my kilts. Maybe I am lucky (and unusual) in that I can generally wear cotton in the winter and wool in the summer - not that I necessarily do, but I can and yet remain comfortable.

The truly finest feature of the heavier weights is, of course, the "swing factor" of the pleats - the heavier the fabric and the more there is of it, the better the swing!

Just my fivepennyworth.
