I meant to ask what you mean by "heavyish." One forum member told me he had a 22 oz (he called it "military weight" I think) kilt, and that if the straps were buckled it would stand up by itself. But my American overcoats, while not tightly woven like a kilt, is heavier.

By any chance, do you have any pictures of your Coachman's Cape? Would you wear it at < 0°F over a kilt and tweed jacket/waistcoat?

Thanks so much,
