It's just interesting because Cape Breton tartan is not commercially woven in kilt weight fabric. The heaviest I can usually find is 10oz. DC Dagliesh will custom weave it but the cloth itself is more expensive than most kilts.
edit: I just called and confirmed that it is 10oz kilt. Too light for me.
