I am sure that is relevant for you, but doubt that it scales real well. I guess maybe it does if you look at it as one measure that is only used to be an absolute maximum that you never exceed. Someone who weighs twice as much may have a bit heavier clothes, but they certainly don't need twice as much stuff.
