Alright, it's time to think about a new kilt. I have decided on wool, probably in the NYC tartan. I'm also leaning towards ordering from scottishkilts.net since I've been so happy with them.

What I need help on is Weight and Length. I have an 8yd, 13oz, and frankly if it's over 72 degrees I start to get a bit warm. How much do weight and length correspond to temperature, respectively, in your opinions? I'm considering a 13oz, 4yd because I'm afraid of the wrinkle factor of 11 oz wool. Input? Advice? Also machine stitched vs hand stitched, advice from the kiltmakers?
