While personally I very much prefer 16oz kilts, and only go with 13oz when there's no alternative, I have contemplated getting an 11oz kilt because from what I can gather Portree is only woven in 11oz tartan, and I would like a Portree tartan kilt.
There's a pipe band in British Columbia that wears it and their kilts look fine.
Thinking they had got heavier fabric somewhere, I contacted the band and was told that their kilts are in two different weights, and all of their kilts were got from X.
When I contacted X about the heavier-weight Portree I was told that X has no recollection or record of obtaining Portree in anything other than the 11oz fabric.
