Well, if there is not that much cost difference, I would always prefer the heavy weight. My general rule of thumb is to purchase the heaviest weight cloth you can afford -- it just makes for a better kilt.

Nothing wrong with 14 oz mind you. It makes a good kilt, too. I just prefer working with the 16 oz, especialy for my four yard kilts.

I was mostly just curious as to why Gordon might have gotten the impression that I would prefer the medium weight. Who knows? In any case, the examples I saw of his wool cloth were good.

Aye,
Matt
