Tips for buying my best 16oz kilt
I have been wearing a kilt for special occations for quite some time. I have a 8-yard and a 5-yard. Except for christmas, I mostly use my 5-yard since summer get over 20*C (about 70F). I've grown older now and it's time for me to actuall buy a new kilt. My family comes from Stewart, so that alone makes it hard to settle my choice. I'm then thinking of how popular the tartan is.
My main issue is what kind of material I want to use. I'm looking at the Scotweb's pages and best looking fabrics they have (in my eyes) is the ones from Loch and Batli. What fabric should I choose, and why?
Is the extra £70 worth it to get the fabric from Loch? I like the strong colors and bright look that those two gives. I would really want my kilt to stand out in the crowd of £20-kilts that rampants around the streets.
I'm looking at the Balmoral kilt. With the Value kilt the kilt with Batli costs £5 less. than the Balmoral wilt Batli. Is there a reason for this, or just the same kilt?
Last, simple question: When I'm looking at different sample pictures, I see that the patterns varies greatley in size. Is it a way to show how large squares the fabric have, or just illustrative pictures taken at random angels and distances?
