Cheap kilt brands?

[Steve Ashton]

My 2nd, 3rd and 4th Kilt I bought from
https://heritageofscotland.com/collections/kilts
16oz heavy weight Viscose Rayon/35% Acetate which I'm wearing now. Not my go to but a change up is needed once in awhile. Good price for what they are and arrives in about 4 to 6 days

May I suggest that you do a small experiment. Measure the length of fabric used in your kilts with a tape measure along the bottom or selvedge edge. Write this length down in inches.
Then measure the height from the Selvege edge up to the top of the top band.

Length X height will give you the total square inches of fabric in your kilt.

Divide the total square inches by 2,160. This will give you the number of fabric yards in your kilt.


If the kilt is made from 16oz fabric each fabric yard will weigh 16oz or 1 pound.
If the kilt is made from 13oz fabric each fabric yard will weigh 13oz.


For example - a full 8 yard kilt with a total height of 24 inches will have 6912 Square inches of fabric, and will weigh 51.2 ounces if made from 16oz fabric. (4pounds = 64 ounces)
