Just as a point of clarification, Lochcarron's site lists the MacLachlan Old in weathered colors on their Strome (16 oz) cloth page:

I did know that they could weave it for me but it all comes down to the money aspect of the whole affair. I prefer, by all means 16 ounce material and 8 yard kilts solely for the look and feel but am certainly open to 13 ounce and/or 5 yard to keep costs down. I saw on your site that the muted from House of Edgar is one of the ones offered and that was a strong second so, as soon as I can get the wife to free up some funds for me then you'll most likely get the order.

I made an Air Force tartan kilt in 10 oz Strathmore for my daughter when she started Air Force ROTC quite a few years ago. It does not make a very good kilt - wrinkles like the dickens and feels like a skirt. I've since had a custom weave in 16 oz done, and that's the kilt she has now. The old 10 oz kilt went to a Highland dancer, and, even for her, it's a little "flippy". I'd pick a different tartan, or have something custom woven, long before I'd make another kilt in 10 oz.

The term 'flippy' was exactly the word I had in mind when I first asked this question! Glad I'm not alone in that!
