That should make for a good looking kilt. Will you be pleating to the white stripe? I trust it is from the finest NZ wool.

Don't know how to convert. It's 230 grams/square meter.

Assuming 60 inches wide, and forgive a bit of rounding
60/39"/meter ~ 1.6 m x 230 g/m = 354 g/linear meter
354 g/linear m / 454 g/lb ~0.78 lb x 16oz / lb ~12.5 oz. Allowing for my rounding errors figure 13 oz. cloth.
