I generally weave my cloth with a herringbone selvedge. Here's an example.

Commercial it can be done and in fact I've been involved with getting some done for a client recently. The difficulty is that the 'Trade' don't understand the process nowadays and so I have to lay out the warping and threading instructions for them including offsetting the sett in order to fit it to the loom.
All things are possible, there's just a premium to the cost and will depend on the technical difficulty and the quantity ordered.
