    The 'weight' of the cloth is what 1 yard of 54inch wide fabric would weigh,

    So if you work out what 1944 square inches of your kilt would weigh, make a small adjustment for the buckles -

    7 yards of 24 inches is 6048 sq inches.

    So the weight of the kilt fabric, say 60 oz - divided by the area in the kilt, multiplied by the area of one running yard - 19 oz

    Simple really, if my calculation is right - working with a calculator that is also a clock and the '6' button that does not work is a slight impediment.

    I never had this trouble with a slide rule, and the battery never want flat either.
