    A couple of years ago I did a review of Stillwater Kilts and mentioned specifically the fabric weight.

    If it will help you here is a link to that review.

    http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=27789

    Since this review I have had an opportunity to examine many Stillwaters. Two Kilts which may be of a different material that the one I originally reviewed came to the shop for minor repair and I was able to weigh the fabric.

    In the first review the weight of the fabric was approx. 5.5-6.5oz. per fabric yard.
    The two newer Kilts were a bit lighter at 5.0-5.5 oz. per fabric yard.
    Both were acrylic but seemed to come from a different weaving company do the tightness of the weave and the fuzziness of the fabric.

    This is a review by a Kilt Maker and is after looking at Jerry's product with a very critical eye. So please, don't think I am knocking Jerry or his product in any way.

    I really respect Jerry. He offers a product that is exactly what he advertises it is. For the money I believe it is the best deal out there. And his shipping is legendary.
