What weight or type?

I got the Dress Campbell Kilt a few weeks ago. Recently I wore it and had someone ask, orther that type of tartan, what it was made of. I know it's wool but what weight or any other details? I'm still learning wool type and info would be great.

Thanks,

Quite a different wool blend material that we get on the east coast. Every time we get the opportunity to get a legitimate tartan in this material...we grab it. It's very warm in the winter, and (somehow) quite nice in the heat. The weave allows the heat to dissipate. This is the same material that a SLUG of stage performers prefer!

The Gordon Blue/Maroon, Campbell Dress, Bogside, Farqharson, MacBeth Large, Morrison Green, and Stewart Wine are all the same material. We can't keep the stuff in the shop for those who see and feel it.

It's another one of those things that makes USAKilts truly different.

Thanks Jimmy, Just had a few ask and I was curious.

Also great little commercial at the end.

One more thing, I had asked about the Clergy tartan, was this material the same as the Dress Campbell or Weathered Morrison? I'm leaning toward the Wine Stewart but I also have been thinking 'blue' and the Cleargy look good...any suggestions?

ID the Blue/Maroon Gordon wasn't so close to you kilt, it would have worked! I'll need to hit the store to see what we have on the racks. I know we have a load of blues, but some are buried in the stacks of bolts. Hold tight.
