Ladies, gents, rabble and rabblettes:

I'm sold on the wool. Used to be, I was convinced---convinced, mind you---that there just had to be a better material for kilts, among other things, than wool. Now, however, I have changed my mind. Tartan worsted? Tweed? Sign me up!

When I was reviewing the Harris Tweed Shop's list of tweeds (which can be found here: http://www.harristweedshop.com/tweed-index.html ), I noticed that some of the tweeds were, well, heavy. The Harris tweeds are 19/20 oz. and the Keepers tweeds up around 26 ounces.

Shazam!

Well, I imagine that an eight yard tank in 26 ounces would either be ridiculous, or sublime. A shorter yardage kilt, however, like a four yard box pleat, or a five yard Kingussie . . . Would that work?

Sometimes my good ideas are bad ideas, and sometimes, just every so often, they're good ideas.

Would the 26 ounce Keeper tweeds be suitable for a Kingussie or box pleated kilt?
