Hmmm, here's what I know....
This was my first kilt from Kathy Lare back in December 2004.
The little card that came with it back then says it was kilt # 770 that she had sewn and it is 11 oz Macdonald Lord of the Isles
The invoice says, " 1 8 yard 11 oz kilt 'Macdonald Lord of the Isles - Lochcarron Mill"
It has a selvedge. It wears as well as any of my other hand sewn kilts.
I live up on a mesa that is nicknamed "The Windy Mesa" because it is. Haven't noticed any wind problems.
There are some varied photos of the kilt on the first page of my gallery.
My only guess is that maybe Lochcarron wove an 11 oz in that tartan at one time.
