As people have already mentioned, heavier PV would be nice.

Is weaving the only way to create a tartan pattern? Could it conceivably be dyed or printed on to fabric?

I would like to see some form of kilt achieve enough mainstream acceptance that it could produce a different economy of scale. Like if my favourite work wear companies (Dickies and Carhartt) started mass producing a utility kilt. It would the same as their work pants: offered in tough materials, standard sizes, a few colours, and a very affordable price point.
I would think it could be printed. Considering how many flannel shirts I've seen where the plaid pattern on the outside is much much much more vibrant than on the inside, I can think of no other way than it being printed for that to have happened.... From a mass-production perspective, I would think this would make things less expensive....
