From someone who is in the business of making Kilts may I suggest you do a search on this forum for discussions about heavy weight P/V fabric.

It has been said many times, but is still not sinking in, that there is no 16oz. per fabric yard, Polyester/Viscous(Rayon) Tartan fabric, suitable for Kilts, available anywhere in the world, that we kiltmakers know of.

Please be very cautious when hearing claims of P/V fabric. Most have been found to actually be Acrylic or Acrylic blends and although thick and fuzzy actually weigh 4 to 6 oz per fabric yard.

A fabric yard is defined as a piece of fabric 60 inches wide X 36 inches long.

A Kilt made from 16 oz fabric will weigh almost 4 pounds.
