As the owner of both a 13 oz 8 yard wool tank and a 16 oz 9 yard wool tank, I can tell you there is a distinct difference in the weight and feel of the kilts. The 13 oz looks as good as the 16 oz, but is a little more comfortable during the warmer months. There is nothing like like the swing and feel of a 16 oz 8 or 9 yard wool kilt.

Most of the guys I have talked to here in Georgia buy the 13 oz kilts.
