    Again Dawg,

    Jura is a term that the Marton Mills weaving co. calls their 16 oz. weight fabric.

    Casual refers to the kilt manufacturing style. Usually a machine sewn kilt from a non-wool, lighter weight wool, or having slightly less than 8 yards of fabric.

    Isle of Skye is the name of the Tartan. It is one of those that the members here have voted "Most beautiful". Do a search for pics of Barb Tewksburys Isle of Skye kilt pleated to no stripe that was made for one of our members.

    I just received 16 yards of Marton Mills "Isle of Skye" in Jura weight here in the shop to make a kilt for myself. It is magnificent.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    16 yards of a kilt for yourself.... You don't look like you are that big in your photos. Or are you contemplating 4 feet deep pleats......
