Here is what Rocky said, "
The weight of the material is actually the same or heavier than the UK fabric (they use 9 oz cotton and 11 oz cotton duck) and this is 11 oz PV. The difference in weight is from the extra pleats (the have a smaller apron, so they need more pleats) and the pockets and "metal bits".

I found an old, narrow belt but have to figure out one of the ends to make it hook onto the sporran. If I can find the screw in snaps type thingy as on some belts, I won't have a problem. I will ask my wife to look when she shops on Saturday.

DALE.

The chain needs to go. It will frustrate you beyond belief trying to put it on and take it off. I suggest at least a thin belt to allow you to unbuckle it but my preference is a strap similar to the ones I make. Check out the links in my signature. The other one I highly recommend are the ones Robert at R-kilts makes that are braided. Very nice looking and easy to wear.

Let's see some pics of that kilt too.
