11-ounce kilt question

[freddie]

Some Scottish kiltmakers (in the days before the internet and the Gold brothers came on the scene) used to advertise their tartans as: 16oz heavyweight suitable for gent's kilts - 13oz medium weight suitable for gent's kilts - 10oz lightweight suitable for ladies skirts, ties and waistcoats. Some however did offer a 10oz Tropical kilt, however the general consensus of opinion was that a gent's kilt should be made from nothing lighter than 13oz medium weight cloth.

Thanks Freddie,

Just had my 10/10.5/11 ounce kilt up in the Rocky Mountains this weekend. Didn't feel like a "tropical kilt." Did the job keeping me warm. Wool is good stuff!!

Yeah, you look nice and snug in that kilt ! I read somewhere that it's not the weight of the kilt that keeps you warm but what you wear on the top half of your body. I guess this proves the point.
