Thank you, gentlemen. More and more, when I look around at mass produced goods, I find myself both appreciating them and disdaining them. Appreciating them? Why yes---imagine the economic miracle of mass production. Even Wally World (yes, even Wally World)---you can go and get a reasonable facsimile of just about anything you want! Disdaining them? Why yes---because off the rack is fine if you have an exactly off the rack body. Besides, I'm a long term fan of Bogart movies, and now that I've been wearing kilts PROPERLY, modern pants feel like they're falling off my butt.
I've got a pair of Swedish mil-surp wool trousers, and they're at least sixteen ounce (guessing, but that's what it feels like).
I remember when I wore suits regularly, and in chilly weather my legs were always cold---I think the 7-9 ounce range is just too light. And if I stick with wool (real wool, not a heavily blended wool) I think I'll be more comfortable.
Thanks again for the quick assistance!
