    I tend to agree with Mike on the weight of the Hunting Stewart. When I first saw the photo (and enlarged it a bit) my first impression was 16oz, possibly more. With you telling us that it seems to weigh more than the Stewart of Appin, then this reinforces that impression. As the Stewart of Appin was made by a respected kiltmaking business, I doubt that they would have used anything less than 13oz material for a mans kilt (unless it was a special order for dancing) You should be able to tell by the feel of the cloth. The 16oz and 130z have a very similiar feel if you run you hand down the fabric. A 11oz is not the same type of weave and should feel softer, maybe even fluffier. Whatever the outcome, you got a very good deal. Cheers
