    I would say that that fabric is a 10-12 oz weight. My fellow seamstresses are buying that for making "Docker" weight pants. HTH's
    Hmm... 10-12 would be sufficient. Maybe I'll just have to order some and see if it'll work.

    Thanks again.

    FYI Denver fabric has Twill's on sale for $4-$5. Dever fabric- Twills

    I've bought stuff from Fabric.com and they were good. Denver fabric is recomended from other seamstresses but i have not used them personally.

    I have some actual "Dockers" brand fabrics here in my shop. When actually weighed out it comes to 13oz per fabric yard. (36" long X 60"wide)

    This is the lightest Poly/Cotton I will use for one of my Contemporary Kilts.

    I have purchased fabrics from sellers like the one you give the link to and their "Pant" weight fabric actually weigh 7-8oz on the same scale.

    Please, please do your self a favor and buy the best, highest quality fabrics you can find. The difference in total cost of fabric only a $20.00 bill.

    In the end you will have a Kilt you can be proud of.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Do you have any sources for quality, heavy weight poly/cotton?
