    Well...

    Well we know several things:

    The approximate size, 9 yards, which would likely be 4.5 yards of 25 inch wide tartan or solid color wool cloth doubled for about 162 inches by 50 inches.

    We know that it was belted.

    We can guess that it was NOT ultra heavy as that much material would be too heavy to wear as clothing.

    Nor would ultra thin material have the warmth needed to keep a man warm while he slept on the ground in snow as we know they did.

    That narrows it down to somewhere between 10oz and 22oz.
