This is the E Bay Bicentennial tartan material. It is SUPPOSED to be 16 oz, I havn't gotten mine yet-> supposedly on thr way). I am deciding between 8 yarder and 6 yarder of the same material (I wone the last bid). As I live in South Carolina (very humid 90s in summer, 40s in winter), I was wondering if it would be too hot! I am making a side pleat (not Box).

I've heard of big visual differences between 5 and 6 yarders, what about 8?
So what about between a 6 and 8?
