I measured the hem of my Grizzly Cut Bear Kilt last night. It was six yards not counting the double layer bits in the front. I got my money's worth out of that one. Unlike the "6 yard" from another maker that was not even 4 and a half yards. I never contacted the other maker on this issue because he has kind of dropped out of chatter on the kilt boards and I didn't want the hassle of packing it up and returning it.
