    Weights-The weight of a given material is measured in ounces per square yard or ounces per linear yard depending on the cut. Wool, Cloth, Poly, linen, denim...etc can all be made thicker or thinner, we have ability to get three weights 13/15/16..we did have some 15 but did not like it.

    About how much material is used to make these kilts (4 yards, 8 yards)?

    I used to live in deland, Florida. The 13 oz kilt has about 146+- inches in a waist size 32.. (very unscientific trying to measure out a kilt that is already made) this would be equal to about 4.1 yards. I dont have the 16 oz measured yet

    How strange. I was born in Minnesota!

    You mentioned something about having the Minnesota tartan woven in another post. Have you done this yet?

    Is the Minnesota tartan wool or synthetic?

    Are your stock (non-custom) kilts pleated to stripe or sett?
