You hardly notice it when it's on as it just rests on your hips. When you take it off and hold it in your arms you can notice the weight.
A while back there was a thread on the UK Yahoo site where a guy = the cost of a leather jacket to a leather kilt. The jacket can be made with 1/2 a cow hide whereas my kilts take 1.5 cowhides. Also more work to make than a jacket. just a bit of info
