I believe it is 10 oz. I have a philabeag in the Robertson tartan in the same fabric. It feels more "wooly" than the only other kilt I have to compare with right now: a semi-trad from USA Kilts in PV. The feel is quite different. The Semi-trad feels looser but looks better [subjective opinion], crisper if you will, the SoS seems to have a rougher hand than either the Robertson or the semi-trad, however the Robertson is 3+ years old and has been hand washed a few times.
I am quite comfortable in all three. I live in a high wind area and haven't had any problems with fly-away kilts. In the summer I have worn the Robertson often, nice kilt for summertime. For dressing up I think I'd go with the PV. It has a more finished look...but I paid a lot more for it too.
