I'd like to poll the rabble on suitable weight for kilts, specifically in the context of a Canadian climate a.k.a. The Great White North. I don't want to bias the results of the survey but I suspect I know what the answer will be. I'm hoping that the weavers will take note!
You may select as many answers as you feel are valid.
