I am curious to know if anyone has any thoughts on warmth in regard to fabric weight vs. yardage. For example, is a 4 yard kilt made from 16 oz medium weight material necessarily warmer than a 6 yard kilt made from something lighter, say 13 oz. material?

The reason I ask is because Pittsburgh Kilts makes some interesting flannel lined kilts. In the past I have liked wearing my LL Bean flannel lined jeans during the winter and thought about getting one of these kilts for our impending cold weather. The temps aren't so bad, but we see considerable wind on this hilltop. Since I am relatively local to PK, I have had the chance to see a flannel lined kilt in person. I loved the feel of the flannel lining itself, but overall the lined kilt seemed a little stiff for my tastes. I need to check it out again, however, before coming to any "firm" conclusions.

Anyway, I am wondering if it would be generally as warm wearing a kilt made from more total yardage of a lighter fabric as one made from less yardage of a heavier material, or composite of materials in the case of the flannel lined kilt. Any thoughts on this?
