The ratio of 8yd vs. 4yd kilts that I now own is 5:0

I have 2 kilts under construction at the moment and both of them are 13oz. 8 yarders. I had occasion a while back to try on a 4 yard kilt and found it waaay to light for my comfort level... almost filmy by comparison to the mass of the 8 yard wool kilts. I find that even the Stillwater blackshadow "heavyweight" I own to be a bit unsettlingly light. A sporran is definitely a must at these weights. Going regimental in a 4 yard kilt I think would be very risky.

This is an old thread , I know... but I thought it would be interesting to dust it off and see how popular 4 yard kilts are with the membership.
