I M Kilted,

According to the Minnesota Tartan website (which Dilrule provided a link to) the only cloth available is an 11 ounce material in the dress version of the tartan. You don't want a kilt made of this material. It is too light and has big white stripes. It is intended for ladies skirts and dresses.

By the way, I was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. I don't have a kilt in this tartan, but there is/was at least one member of this forum who does.

Um, I M,

My first hand sewn kilt was an 11oz Lochcarron material in Macdonald Lord of the Isles Hunting. Kathy Lare sewed it up. Its a beautiful kilt and the material works fine as a man's kilt. I've been very pleased.

I also have 13 oz and 16 oz hand sewn's to compare it to. Would hesitate to decide not to get a kilt you want just because the fabric is 11 oz.

Made me a happy camper. Pics in my gallery but they're all front views. Guess I need to take some back shots of that kilt.

Email him. Matts email address is part of his profile here on this forum. I'd be nearly positive that he has the tartan available in several different weights. I've been to his store at the Tartans Museum and hwe has at least 6 different tartan books from the mills with which he deals.
