Bill is quite right the heavier the kilt cloth the better it swings-------assuming the kilt is made properly, which I am sure it will have been. As to weight, it all depends how much cloth and how much the cloth weighs, so assuming the cloth is, probably, 16 oz and let us say that 8 yards of cloth was used, then your kilt will weigh roughly 8 lbs and can take a bit of getting used to.
As to the "swing", it all happens behind, so you will never actually see it!I can't say that when wearing the kilt, I ever notice anything "swishing" as I walk, others will of course and I suppose if you really need to re-assure yourself, then get a friend to take a film from behind as you walk.
