Prefered weight of canvas for kilting?

[MacWage]

Hi Guys,

I don't post (or look) here much, as I tend to like and make "traditional" style kilts (mainly box pleats). But, I have been asked about making a kilt in a canvas. Well, I know a fair amout about wools now, some about PV, but not much about canvas.
So, what weights are liked for kilts in canvas?
I have VERY easy access to 10oz, but is that thick enough once washed?
Has anyone tried canvas in a box pleat? (Isn't he X kilt commonly done in a canvas?)

Who knows, if successful, I might create a pirate kilt for all us "kilted pirates"!

I don't remmeber what weight Alan H used for the XKilt he made me, but I do remember the first one he made from a heavyweight canvas type of material (Carhardt maybe) was a real PITA to work with, just too stiff. Search some of his older posts and you should find the details.
