Lambswool Kilt?? Advisable?

[Tobus]

And too light a kilt could contribute to “wardrobe malfunctions”, I suspect. A beautiful, non-itchy wool could be much better, in a 13 ounce weight, I suspect. The lambswool is 11 ounces, I think I recall.

I think people are making way too much fuss over lighter-weight cloth. An 11oz tartan is heavy enough for a kilt, and isn't going to cause any "wardrobe malfunctions" due to weight. Many of the custom-weave wool tartans from DC Dalgliesh are in the 11oz weight, and they do just fine in kilts. The PV tartan cloth by Marton Mills is in this weight range too, as I recall, and people who buy kilts in this material don't complain about their kilts flying up any more than the rest.

What's more important in a kilt is the yardage, pleating choice, and construction details.

Of course, I don't know what the lambswool factor does, so I can't speak to that. If it's a softer cloth, or woven differently, or finished differently, it could feel and hang much differently. But in general, with other things being equal, I wouldn't necessarily say that an 11oz wool tartan cloth is that much different than 13oz or even 16oz cloth in terms of how the kilt performs. Most people probably couldn't tell the difference, anyway.
