I was eyeing them up to, always liked this one I believe its a 19oz . I think though that if you want to keep warm in the winter with a plaid of 13oz you need a long enough length to fold it in half and then pleat it, like say 6 yards halfed to 3.

I decided to go the other direction and order some of the heavy 30oz plaid and see if it'll work. Its gonna be heavy but I'm gonna be warm darn it!!!
Oh, and good luck on Saturday Brian, PA deer season doesn't start till the 27th.

Hi Brian,
Those are very nice, I have the Rob Roy. Which as we speak is hopefully
being cut by Matt to make a box-pleat.

I am with you on that one, Frank. Also, if I personally killed something, I really do not believe I could eat it - but then I don't believe I could kill it in the first place.

I have worn my kilt when grouse shooting in the moors, awesome feeling of freedom when the wind blows. its the best mode of dress totally comfortable and erotic.

I usually hunt in Alaska but missed Moose season this year due to school. I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy flying or jet boating and Mosquitos and cold in a Kilt. Maybe Dall Sheep hunting would be enjoyable kilted. O'Neille

I dont hunt or shoot but have 5 kilts one of which I regularly wear when walking. Its good for either hillwalking or just rambling.
As for the others well kilts are just the best form of dress there is in my opinion. Its great to talk to like minded people.
Suppose being born and brought up in Scotland with them gave me a heads start but its great to see that so many people all round the world wear kilts nowadays.
