Well, for material PV is abou the best you can find and would not have many of the issues that the UK material has (although some of those issues are design, not fabric, issues). Next, you can make whatever you want. I will be experimenting with a tartan kilt that incorporates some contemporary features in the future. Specifically, pockets. Knife, kinguisse, box, or whatever pleats can be done with any kilt. None of them are better or worse for curling or other issues, more a function of the material in that case.
