I've no idea what the present day "Hill Walker" kilts are like. Mine was made to measure out of 16 oz weathered MacMillan Hunting tartan. I couldn't tell you how many yards it used, but in those days I had a 30 inch waist, so it may have been less than a full 8 yards. It weighed about the same as my other kilts, although it was a good inch shorter. Like my other kilts it was totally hand stitched, and it cost about as much as they did at the time.
