Kinloch-Anderson 21oz Heavy-Weight Tweed

It's a very subtle, but pleasing combination.

That much is certain!

I'm almost certain it is the exact same fabric and just a difference in lighting. The green used is a loden, almost the shade that Dalgliesh uses for it's WOB, but perhaps a bit "muddier". The "red/orange" is actually a coral color, more towards pink than orange. The blues are more muted than the normal navy and azure used by other weavers. It's a very subtle, but pleasing combination.

What a nice combination of colours.

In looking at this photo, I at first assumed that the gentlemen at center and right were wearing solid-coloured jackets. But upon closer inspection, it seems that both of their jackets have a subtle pattern to them. Splendid!

In the EUSBPA (Eastern United State Pipe Band Association) pipers and drummers are also graded on the sufficiency of their Highland attire.

I've been wondering how this fabric would make up in a kilt. Maybe a box pleat. warm? How would it deal with blocking the wind?

Precisely!

Right, good point.

Kinloch-Anderson does offer to make kilts in this type of fabric, as well as other tweeds they have available. It is 21 ounce heavy-weight tweed, so I think the material would take pleats extremely well. I don't think you'd have any problems in the wind, nor comfort.

Though many would have a problem with the K-A price.

Well, since they do sell the fabric alone by the (double width) meter, the solution appears obvious.

EDIT: Dang. I just HAD to go and look, didn't I? I would SO love to have a kilt made in this 21-oz tweed:
