    Yes, thank you for the prompt replies, they are all quite handsome!

    I think they are all 16-oz? Any feedback on how deep the pleats are and how well you like the finished weight, based on the large sett?

    Thanks, Moosedog

    Nice. I was thinking of getting a red Robertson first, but I'm starting to lean towards hunting...

    Yes, mine is 16-oz., but I don't find the weight of the overall kilt at all uncomfortable. However, the amount & weight of wool material does mean this is not a good "summer weight" kilt for the extreme summertime heat of the American Southwest, "air-conditioning" not withstanding.

    The pleats on my kilt are 3¾-inches deep.
