What weight to pick?

[davedove]

I've got kilts in 11 oz., 13 oz., and 16 oz. I would have to say that, if I have a choice, that I will always go for the heavier weight. I just like the feel of the cloth better, and I haven't noticed a significant difference in the heat.

I agree that the 16 oz is what you should get. In Illinois it can get pretty hot and humid in the summer at those Highland games, but looking correct is more important than comfort. With the heavy wool, it hangs properly, the pleats stay pleated, etc.
