Best Fabric for a Highland Games Kilt?

[MacRob]

I have three kilts. Two are 13 oz. worsted and one is 16 oz. worsted. The 16 oz. kilt hangs better and wears better than the other two. Of course it is heavier but in the heat and humidity of a southern summer the difference is not all that great between it and the lighter fabric. However, since you are looking at a kilt for your husband to wear in competition I would go with the lighter weight. The synthetics just do not do it for me and the only one in our family belongs to our 13 year old grandson who outgrows everything almost before we get it for him. For dress or daywear however, the 16 oz. cannot be beat.
