Length of material for a great kilt?

[jhockin]

Luke, got to disagree here, a least as far as the early Highland Regiments were concerned. Loudoun's 64th for example were issued 12 yds to make a plaid, no mention of them ever wearing a feileadh beag and even if they did, it was more likely to have been made from an old plaid and to have contained 3-4 yds not 6.

Peter:
With 12 yards ( single width) do you think they would have been making one "great kilt" or two ( keeping in mind that we are often told the average highland man was much small and slimmer, than the average man, today)?
