I own a handmade 13 oz, 5-yd kilt made years ago by a quality kiltmaker in Scotland. And I really like the kilt. It takes a real pro, up close and personal actually feeling the kilt to tell what it is. And you should know, it really is cooler than the other and heavier kilts.

But if I had it to do over, I think I would do it in 16 oz. You can go in to great detail with Matt about the reasons stated above, but I think the 16 oz. is just longer lasting, holds pleats better, etc.

But I'm still glad I have the other kilt.

How's that for wishy-washy!
