I will be going to my nephews wedding in June. He has decided to have himslef and his groomsmen kilted (Way to go nephew) and I wanted to wear one as well. However, this leads to my question. I currently own only 1 kilt (a black Stewart from SWK) and had planned on purchasing another one in the family named tartan. Now comes the dilemma, I am having a hard time in deciding between a 4 yard box pleat, a 5 yard knife edge or the traditional 8 yard knife edge. I am also struggling with the weight of the wool (mind, this wedding will be in Albuquerque, NM in the summer). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I would also cover your opinions on which of these tartans... I am trying to decide between the MacKinnon modern or the MacKinnon ancient hunting.
