It can be done with McLeod of Harris, Farquarson, almost any Tartan with two different colored overchecks.
The decision whether to use one half Sett or 1 and one half Sett is the size of the Sett.
The Military Kilts like above are made from an 18 oz fabric and the Sett is almost 8.5" so it can be done with a half Sett per pleat.
We have done perhaps 30 Kilts in different Tartans using the same principal of alternating colors. Some turned out really striking. Some not so.
We are currently working on an X Marks Kilt done to alternating Yellow and White.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
