Maybe its just the pics, the weight of the cloth appears light, do you know the weight of the fabric Ham?

I do, Ron, and this is how I described it in the text above the photos in my post:
"The 16oz fabric is an unusual (to me) blend of wool (80%) and acryllic (20%) which is woven in Eastern Europe. It is surprisingly soft considering the presence of acryllic and holds the 28 sharp knife-pleats very well - I was also pleased to see the reverse pleat as standard. The three buckles and straps are of good quality, the kilt is lined where kilts should be lined and there is a neat double fringe to the wide apron."
This is quite a 'bulky' fabric, Ron, and is not one that could be described as "light". I suspect it is the small acryllic content that is behind that, but I have never worn acryllic before and so cannot speak from experience.
