Let me add just a couple of comments here.
The Polyester/Rayon blend fabric woven by Marton Mills and known as P/V weighs in at 12oz per fabric yard.
The average Acrylic Kilt produced in the middle east averages between 6 and 9oz per fabric yard but is thicker by far than an equivalent weight wool or P/V. Think polar fleece. Light but poofy.
And a note to anyone thinking of a wedding where the Kilt may be worn.
There is one unbreakable, inviolatable rule when it comes to wearing Highland Attire at a wedding.
Never, and I mean never---outshine the bride!!!!
When you start with the Kilt,,add hose,, Ghillies,, Sgain,,Dress Sporran with Silver Cantle,,PC Jacket with Silver Buttons,,Bow Tie,,,Perhaps a Fly Plaid with Silver Brooch....It doesn't take long before the only thing anyone in the audience will notice is the glare off all the bling and the colors and splendor of the Kilt outfit.
And you will spend your honeymoon sleeping on the couch.
Remember, this is her day, not yours. Tone it down as much as possible and let her shine.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
