    Thanks for the insight, I've been saving my pennies to buy some tartan fabric, and since I like the feel and movement of my 2 SWK heavyweights, I was wondering if I should buy 14oz or 16oz fabric.

    Sounds like 14oz it is then, I will finally be able to make my own Young tartan kilt in military box pleated style.

    I think most mills weave their tartan in 10/11 oz., 13oz., or 16oz. Thats the usual weights for light, medium and heavy. So unless someone is advertising 14oz, you are more likley to find either 13oz. or 16oz.
