The difference between 5 yards and 8 yards is 3 yards. In reference to the kilt, it means how much square yardage the kilt is made from. A higher yardage kilt will (generally) have more (smaller) pleats as more material is being used in the (rear) pleated portion of the kilt.

Square yardage has nothing to do with kilts. Eight yards, four yards, etc... refers to the linear yardage of the kilt.

AND WORD TO THE WISE- He means he doesn't want a leather kilt or anything of solid color ("contemporary kilts" are likely the no-no, as opposed to proper tweed kilts). That seemed fairly plain to me.
