    Quick, down and dirty.

    if you put your Kilt on a postal scale
    An 8 yard Kilt made from 16oz fabric will weigh between 3 1/2 and 4 lbs.
    An 8 yard Kilt made from 13oz fabric will weigh between 1 3/4 lbs and 2 1/4.
    An 8 yard Kilt made from 10oz fabric will weigh between 3/4 and 1 lb.

    if you calculate the amount of fabric in your Kilt.
    22oz fabric weighs 1.466oz per square foot.
    16oz fabric weighs 1.066oz per square foot.
    13oz fabric weighs .866oz per square foot.
    10oz fabric weighs .666oz per square foot.
