And yes, Woodsheal, since it is double wide fabric and a yard is just a little less than a meter, 4 meters should be enough to make a nice kilt (depending on your waste size).
Here's something you all may want to consider. As mentioned by ForresterModern, the House of Edgar is one of two weavers who offer regimental weight cloth. (The other is Robert Noble.) The House of Edgar sells it in double-width and single width. This 'single-width' however, is not like the actual single offered in their other ranges; it is really the double-width cut in half lengthwise. This is because, according to their in-house kiltmakers, "it is too thick to make a good join." I myself have always ordered the "single-width" whenever I've used this weight simply because I don't like making a join if I don't have to. So, I've never bothered to try to join it.

Maybe some other kiltmakers have successfully joined this fabric? Please chime in.
