Seems like this discussion pops up now and again but it's another "it depends" sort of thing. I have one kilt in 16 ounce Strome and another in Strathmore's 13 ounce W60 material. Both seem to weigh about the same and as far as wearing them out in any weather is concerned, the difference in warmness or coolness is negligible.
Best,

ANOTHER KILTED LEBOWSKI AND...HEY, CAREFUL, MAN, THERE'S A BEVERAGE HERE!

I have an 8 yard Welsh Cilt (Edwards) made of 13 ounce wool and an 8 yard 16 ounce (Ancient Clergy) Scottish kilt and I don't know if it is the weight of the material or the type of wool used, but the 16 ounce feels more dense and heavier. Both seem to lose any wrinkles rather quickly, but it seems to me that the 16 ounce does not wrinkle as easily as the 13 ounce. Personally, I like the feel of the 16 ounce a little more. It just seems more substantial.
