6-yard 13oz versus 5-yard 16oz...

I'm glad I saw this thread. I just purchased a 8 yrd 13oz. Kilt made by Balmoral. I really wanted the 16oz but it was just slightly outside my price range. I was really worried that I would not be satisfied with the 13oz fabric, but now that I've read this thread, I'm not so worried anymore. How does the 13 oz compare with the 16oz.?

I honestly can't tell the difference between a 13 oz hand sewn kilt and a 16 oz hand sewn, except the weight is 3.3 lbs vs. 4 lbs. If you can't do the 16, go for the 13, but don't do 10 oz. Of course it MUST be WOOL!
