As I said, it's okay for the first try. It feels light though. For example, the full eight yards with canvas and buckles feels about the same weight (total kilt weight, not oz/yd) as my stillwater standard, give or take a few ounces.

If I understand right, stillwater standards are 6-ish yards? (I just checked Stillwaters site. They state that they are 6-8 yards. I'll measure in a minute).

But, I'll be making a 6-yard kilt out of 13oz material from Lochcarron. I'm sure it'll be better of course, but I'll compare the two afterwards.
