Things may now be different, but mills used to supply customers with a 'swatch-book' at cost, and deduct that cost when cloth was ordered. Many tailors still keep a range of swatch-books from different mills, and are a good source of inspiriation.
It is worth remembering that the jacket cloth weight needs to be the same or slightly heavier than that of the kilt. A 16oz kilt can look out of balance with a 10-12oz tweed jacket.
