Like you said I think the proof is in the material used. If it doesn't have considerable weight and swish it doesn't even come close to a tank.
I've got some of the short yardage kilts, mostly in what we think of as "casual" material---a Farquharson PV from USAK, the Utilikilts, three PKs (desert and forest MARPAT, flannel lined denim) and so on. Now that I've got the wool kilts, I'm starting to understand what the "wool buzz" was all about.

I'm still intrigued by a wool blend short yardage, either box or knife; maybe it will be enough encouragement to break out the sewing machine.
