If you know which of your other kilts is a 16 oz or 13 oz, by weighing kilts of similar length you should be able to tell those of heavier cloth.

As tartan is normally woven 54 inches wide, one yard of 16 oz fabric 24 inches wide would be 16 multiplied by 4/9ths - almost exactly 7 oz. Eight yard kilts in 16 oz fabric would weight 56 oz plus the internal stiffening and lining plus buckles - about 4lb at a guess.

Eight yards of 13 oz with lining and buckles would be about 3 and 1/4lb.
