Buying kilt #2

[tulloch]

I would hold your fire and look slowly and carefully. The closer to home your kilt is made the better because you can be part of the process and get lots of information. I understand what you say about the light feel of your Sport Kilt. Some would say it is less a kilt than a skirt. There is no substitute for a 15- or 16-oz wool 8-yard kilt. Look slowly. Save your money. It will be worth it. I have two 8-yard wool and there is nothing like it. I have a 5-yard 16-oz from USA that I like very much as well but I repeat, there is nothing like the Tank.

I whole heartedly agree with tulloch . You can't beat a 16 oz wool , 8 yd kilt . I own a few others in lighter weight and a couple of PV's .

They are all fine for what they are , but there's nothing like a full 8 yd , 16 oz , kilt . I find them more comfortable and less fussy than the others while wearing them . They hang well , wear well and in my humble opinion are a joy to wear and always look absolutely first rate .

I find that my couple of 16 oz , 8 yarders are my " go to " kilts . I know the lighter weight ones are better for certain activities , i.e. sporting events , hiking , etc. and I agree , no problem there . But for general kilt wearing .... I am with tulloch , " there is nothing like the Tank " , once you strap it on , there's no other kilt that can compare , no muss no fuss , strap that bad boy on and you are good to go ! Just my two cents .
