    from Kansas City.

    13 or 16, they both work well for kilts.

    Thanks very much for the timely responses. I'm still not sure what weight I should get, however is does get a bit chilly where I live (Wolfeboro, NH). Also what are your opinions on the fact that the kilt I had bought is an 11oz? Good, bad, neutral?

    The lighter weight kilt material (10-11 oz) will blow in the wind. To me, blowing in the wind is having to hold the apron down and the pleats will turn up because there is not much support from the next knife pleat, it curls in the wind. I have an 10 oz wool kilt and I like the lightness of it but can't wear it golfing with a golf cart. The apron fly's while driving. It acts more like a leaf that is easy to turn over. All polyester/viscose(rayon) material is about 10 oz. The fact that it is washable outweighs the fact that it will blow in the wind.

    My recommendation, IMHO, is to use 13-16 oz for wool kilts to get the holding power in the wind. 10 oz for washable PV.
