I'd be looking at a full 8 yds (well 7 i suspect)... Thinking i might have enough for a bias cut waistcoat and a pipers plaid too maybe...
Fabric is fairly old, and since I know that at the same time the only people I could find producing Maclean hunting was Locharron (compared to multiple choices now) I wouldnt be suprised if things were different back then, my weight measurement was fairly crude however so it might be 10oz... Will be cooler for summer than the 16oz at any rate...
