Tweed vs. Worsted Weight Wool

[xman]

I have a six yard Cairngorm (Marton Mills) tweed kilt. It hangs and swings and pleats every bit as well as my worsted kilts. I suspect it breathes slightly more than my worsted kilts, but I could be imagining it. The hand is a little rougher, but not by much really. It does seem a little less durable than worsted wool, again not by much and I could be imagining it. All in all I'm very happy with it and am sure I will have at least one other some day. I suggest you get one for yourself and enjoy the difference personally.
