Thanks everyone for all the great feedback!

I called the store today about upgrading my order and found out to my surprise that the kilt I ordered saturday is already in the works. As it turns out, they faxed the order to Scotland saturday night and the cloth was cut and set in the queue by monday morning. I should have the finished kilt back from Scotland in 6 to 7 weeks. (Perhaps just in time for Phil's pub night?)

I'm more optimistic now than I was. As it turns out, the cloth is more 12oz than 11. They had a sample kilt in the store and it was definitely a bit lighter than I'm used to but nicely made. I also had a look at some 4yard lightweights they had in the store... they were very light with very shallow pleats... one would be far better off going with poly-vis methinks.

Cheers,
