The two kilts (1.5 to 2 kg each => 3 to 4 kg = 8.8lb) in your bag will take about one half of the allowed weight (mostly from 7kg=15.4lb to 10 kg=22lb).

Been travelling around Europe sometimes kilted with no checked in luggage, I would suggest only one kilt and to travel having it on, especially if it is woollen "8 yarder". If you really need to pack the kilt in, then get one USA kilts casual (about 0.6 kg = 1.3lb, same as long trousers).

And well, after getting to that solution I have usually left the woollen kilt home and had only that light one with me if travelling lite (=only carry-on luggage) and usually have it on me in the plane. No hassle in the security check because the kilt does not have any metal in it and I do not wear a kilt pin when travelling by air.
If one needs woollen "real" kilt to travel then a 4-yard box-pleated weights a bit less than 8-yard knife pleated and I think is equally "traditional".
