I have one and if it was any heavier I'd have trouble walking. None of my kilt hangers can hold the thing. Last night it was pretty chilly out so I wore it when I walked over to meet my wife after work. Somehow I can't imagine a MoD issue kilt being heavier, it just wouldn't make sense. btw, the selvage on it is very good. Made in Pakistan doesn't neccesarily mean second rate goods. If Jerry had these things made in the US or UK I doubt many of us could afford them. I will get a pic or two as soon as I get my camera back from my Dad.

As promised, here's a closeup (kinda) of the fabric of the WPG kilt.

Bubba,
Very nice looking kilt! Might have to consider one for the winter months.
The kilt concealed a blaster strapped to his thigh. Lazarus Long

Bubba,
That is one sharp looking kilt! I esecially like the wqay it looks with the leather vest.

How does it feel, wearing such a heavy kilt?

Sherry, after a minute or two it's not even noticable. I really only notice the weight when I hold it. Wearing it it's distributed very well.

Thanks for the great pics Bubba,
Now I'm really hooked...dang...and Cameron's a family line for me.
Can't be heavier than my leather kilts.
I built special "hangers" to hold that weight. Just went to the hardware store and got a 2x2, some screw in hooks, sorta cup holder size, and a big hook for a hanger hook on top.
Laid the kilt out, cut the 2x2 to size. Marked the locations of the belt loops on each side - or whatever you get to hang it from - then matched the cup hooks to the belt loop positions. When all done, hung the kilt and found the balance point for the big hanger hook.
Looks like you many not have many - or any - belt loops so that may not work.
