I did a search for this, but I couldn't seem to find a satisfactory answer -- at least not one that's specific enough for what I'm after. Most of the weight/yardage comparison threads are quite extreme (e.g. 4 vs. 8 yard) etc... This seems to be a bit more subtle of a difference.

I'm looking at a new wool kilt (because right now the Japanese yen is so bloody strong I'm gonna take advantage of it AND the fact that I'm saving at least $600 by not going to the Burns supper in Tokyo... LOL!)... But I can't decide whether it's better to get a 5-yard 16 oz kilt or a 6-yard 13 oz kilt... Both are knife-pleated as far as I know, both made in Scotland but from different companies. (Don't know which mill the fabrics are from -- I'd have to phone or send a mail)...

If the price were roughly the same for either one, which would you choose and why? Now, let me ask a slightly alternate follow-up question. What if the 13oz were £21 cheaper....?

I honestly don't know. None of my kilts at the moment are real wool -- I have a SWK standard, a KM deluxe, a Pakistani acrylic wool heavy weight and a UK.

Please & thank you!
