    Nope.
    The amount of fabric needed for a kilt varies.

    And there is still some debate over what a Great Kilt actually was.

    Some like myself believe that it was much more like a blanket you may have seen around the shoulders of N. American Indians. An adaption of the Irish Brat.

    Others point to one or two old samples of single width fabric that have been sewn together to give double-width.

    Both are about the same size - around 2 yards wide by between 2 and 4 yards long.
