    I have tried 2 different sets of scales - one says 3lb 4oz for the fabric, another says 5lb 6oz, which puts it between 8.125oz and 13.5oz, but it feels thicker than my kilt wool at the same weights.

    I will try a 3rd one tomorrow, and then average all 3.

    *edit*

    looking online, it states that Hunters of Brora typically dealt with 13oz for summer wear, and 24oz for winter wear, I can definitely say it is NOT the 24oz weight. I will find one more scale tomorrow (I used kitchen and bathroom scales), maybe taking it to the post office and let you know!
