That is funny.

I still don't understand the arithmetic behind kilt material yardage, but I recently got my first 8 yard kilt. And is it HEAVY. My other wool kilt, from USAKilts, is a 5 yarder, and it is noticeably lighter. It still looks great, with ample and sharp pleats.

The 8 yard also looks great. But it is so heavy as to be cumbersome. I also noticed the cloth is, obviously, heavy and stiff. Which is generally good. But it also causes the aprons to lie straight when sitting down, rather than draping down into the cavern that is your lap. This can be..........unsettling to say the least.

Any similar experiences or advice ?
