I'm sure this has been addressed before, however, I wasn't able to dig up anything of use.
My current kilts are at the extremes- a pair of heavy weight, 9 yard, high quality kilts, a handful of very lightweight synthetics for rucking or field wear, as well as casual wear... and a couple canvas utilities for working/field use.
I'm looking for a kilt or 2 in light to midweight wool, probably ~5ish yard type, that won't break the bank. While the synthetics are OK, tbey don't really keep the shape of the pleats well, and tuey don't have that swing that makes a proper kilt a kilt. Im lookg for something that I can take afield, ruck or run in, and that is still suitable for a casual evening out- without the weight or expense of a full on, top tier, 9 yard kilt. Climate is also a consideration- the subtropical North Carolina Sandhills typically sees high 90°+ summer days, lots of humidity; winters are typically mild, perhaps a few weeks of sub 40°days- not that these would be used during the coldest part of the winter.

So my questions would be: what are the pros and cons of 10/11oz lightweight vs 13oz midweight wool. I'm assuming the heavier material will "carry" better... the lightweight may be more climate appropriate, but not carry as properly.
Which makers or companies would you recommend for something of this sort? Preferably someone who will pleat to the strip...
What other things should I consider?

Any insight is much appreciated .....
