I have on order a 8-yard Classic Cut kilt from Bear Kilts. It will be in the Maple leaf tartan. The main reason I chose 8-yard was because the Maple Leaf polyviscose is a rather light fabric (8 oz, I think), and I thought the extra fabric would help to give the kilt some needed heft.

For a million reasons I'm thinking of switching my order to a 4-yard Grizzly Cut (the Grizzly Cut is not available in 8-yards). Bear says that ther Grizzly is actually more of a 6 yard kilt, but I guess it depends somewhat on my particular measurements.

My question: Would those with experience with Bear Kilts recommend the Grizzly Cut with the lighter Maple leaf tarten, or should I stick with the full 8 yard Classic Cut? I'm trying to figure out if one or the other best suits the light Maple Leaf tartan material.

Any and all comments appreciated. Address issues like the weight of the material, it's likelihood to fly in a wind, whether the extra cloth makes any difference in that regard, as well as general comments about the cut and hang and general appearance of the two styles (e.g. does the Classic Cut hang better?).
