Stillwater, how heavy is there heavyweight?

**DubintheDam** · 23rd March 11, 05:13 AM

A quick question, Stillwater kilts, how heavy is their heavyweight wool kilt, 13oz or 16 oz? Just thinking about one for normal daily use.

I'm not sure, I have one and I find it quite light probaly not heavier than 13oz and possibaly a bit lighter.

Probably 11oz. The one I held was lighter than my own 13oz kilt.

They're fine for normal daily use and a step-up from acrylic. The material is a little softer and thicker than Scottish worsted wool. Probably around 13 oz.

That is also my estimate for my saffron. It's the same weight as my USA Kilts 13 oz. My wool Nightstalker, on the other hand, is deffinately 16 oz. It's quite heavy. Best suggestion- ask Jerry. Send him an email. He'll tell you everything you want to know.

So perhaps there is a difference between different models of heavyweight... mine is a green shadow tartan.

I have 3 of the heavy's in Black Watch, Green Shadow, and the Leatherneck that I just bought 2 weeks ago and in my case mine are all between 13 and 16 oz and they are heavier than the Geoffery Tailor in Thompson Dress that I found on ebay which feels to be in the 11 to 13 oz range. The only thing I have noticed is the liner in the Green Shadow is a different type of material than the other two.

I'm pretty sure they are around 13-14 ozs. Certainly heavier than my 11 oz PV kilts.
I never actually weighed them or anything, but of the two Stillwater heavies I've owned, a Saffron and a Weathered Lamont, I feel like the Saffron is a little heavier.

Did Jerry have the Nightstalker in wool? I thought he only had that in Acrylic. If there was a run of those in wool I hate that I missed it. That's a great tartan.

I don't think there was ever a wool Nightstalker tartan...I'm assuming Nighthawk is referring to the Black Shadow heavyweight.

If there was a wool Nightstalker, I'm sorry I missed it! My Nightstalker standard is the only acrylic kilt left in my closet, but I'm scared to wear it because Nighthawk keeps telling me I'll burst into flames!

Ask him how he knows!
