Here's an idea...If you're really worried that your kilt maker is going to try to sell you an inferior fabric, then run away to another kilt maker!

Another way to insure that you get a 16oz wool tartan is to order one that is physically not available in any other weight or material. I did this with my tank by accident. I chose my tartan before I knew that it was only available in a 16oz Locharron Strome.

I used to be a math geek back in the day. This calculation brought back memories. Thanks.
