They also have a hem... which to some traditionalists means it's a skirt not a kilt.
I have two of the Heritage of Scotland 16oz kilt. They are quite heavy although I couldn't say if that were 16oz or not, but they do feel quite stiff and that's after washing them. I find that this makes them not quite so comfortable to wear, so I may wash them a few more times to try and get rid of the stiffness before I wear them in earnest.
As for hems, well all of my kilts have a hem, including my Scottish Kilt from 21st Century Kilt, with the exception of the one I made myself. So I'm not going to decry any kilt for having one.
Now that the weather here has become chilly, these kilts will be worn more often since they are warmer.
