    Alright...I see lots of folks have one of Matt's kilts. Does anyone have any personal experience with a tank from Kinloch? How does the 13 oz that they recommend measure up to the heavyweight? There's the possibility that I may wear the kilt that I choose to my wedding in about 9 mos, so I want to choose wisely. Sorry to pound the point guys! =)

    I don't have a KA tank, but I have three hand sewn kilts in 16oz, 16oz, and 13oz from Kathy Lare, Celtic Craft Centre, and Alexis Malcolm, respectively. I'm very happy w/ my 16oz kilts year round here in Colorado, but I doubt I'd have more than one of them if I lived in a warmer clime or somewhere with high humidity. That being said, the 13oz is noticeably cooler and less abrasive on the skin (Welsh tartans appear to be softer than Scottish), but doesn't have quite the "swing" of the heavier material. Now I'm growing curious about a 16oz, 4 yard kilt from Matt.

    Bryan...your mileage may vary...

    Go with Matt, and start saving for the tank. I've been putting my "pocket change" in a jar for years, and I have several hundred dollars now. It amounts up quickly. That way you can wind up with two excellent kilts. Also don't forget about the other kiltmakers here, like Rocky.
