Weigh in on Weights

[Tobus]

I am getting ready for another wedding, my sisters. She has decided her color pattern is black and purple. So I wanted to get me a nice purple tartan (suggestions welcome, though I was planning on getting a USAK Pride of Scotland).

As it so happens, I was browsing USA Kilts' site earlier looking at tartans, and I distinctly remember one that was primarily black and purple that I thought looked really great. So, since you asked for suggestions, this is the one that caught my eye. He has it listed as Highland Mist in 16 oz from MM.



Personally, if I were buying a brand spanking new kilt for a wedding, I'd go 16 oz, 8 yds. I don't have enough experience with the wide range of weights to answer most of your questions, but I dare say you couldn't go wrong with 8 yds of 16 oz wool in terms of weight and swish and just plain awesomeness.
