However, I did discover later from Nick in conversation that I could have had the same tartan woven in their "band spec" weight tartan of 18 oz. I would have prefered that weight had I known, although the kilt would have been even more heavy that it is now!
Wonderful, Jock! Thanks for sharing this bit of information. That is definitely something to consider.
