It does but I think you'd find that it would not be as coarse as the Regimental cloth because the latter is/was a worsted cheviot yarn.

From the article in The Telegraph:
Professor Maria Hayward from the University of Southampton, who specialises in the history of clothing, said: "The condition of the kilt is very striking - you do not expect to see a piece that has such clear links to the First World War being in such good condition.
"The construction, which is very simple, in combination with the efficient use of fabric and the way one size could be made to fit most men, made kilts of this type a very versatile piece of military uniform, which also retained its distinctive national identity."
I would like to know how it was constructed. I wonder how much of a size range it had and how this was accomplished.

I also found this interview from the University of Southampton about the kilt.
