Hello, I am looking into purchasing my first kilt and I think I will buy one from SWK. Since I know I will be wearing this for years (I'm only 16) is it worth it to upgrade from the standard to the heavyweight? They are still cheaper than most other places so price isn't an issue. What are some specific reasons why one is better than the other and vice versa? And for cleaning, is there a special method or can I just throw it in the washer?

I'm looking forward to it and based on what I hear about SWK, my kilt should be getting here in a few minutes.
