Weigh in on Weights

[fluter]

Would not a kilt from 16oz material weigh more than 1 lb/fabric yard due to lining, steeking, straps, etc?

Ah, but we also removed part of the fabric in the pleats! So within the bounds of hand-waving approximation, we're close.

The steeking is heavy duty thread. There's a strip of stabilizer (broadcloth, canvas) between the buckles, some hair canvas which is probably close to the weight of the pleat cut-outs, lining is pretty light. Hmmm.
