    And cotton socks. I am heading to a wedding in Memphis and am struggling with the idea of 13 oz wool or which is my best looking kilt and memories of how hot it can be. Will probably suffer but plan is to have a PVC kilt in my luggage as backup.

    13oz wool in Memphis is actually fine. In summer tweed is a problem though.

    The weather in Memphis is forecast to be cool for the next week. If your wedding is this year, you should be in great shape.

    Is it outside ?

    I don't think PV is any cooler than wool. I have both, and admittedly don't hang out in the sun during hot weather, but temperature has not been a differentiating factor for me.

    Don't know venue, but in any case weather forecast is looking good. I am glad my choice of kilt weight for my custom kilt was 13 oz instead of 16 oz. Living in Pennsylvania, I have found it quite comfortable on some wet and windy days. I acquired some PVC for warmer wear. My Celtic Nations generated a lot of good conversations at scout camp this summer.
