Besides camouflage, can you think of other more-or-less random patterned cloth that might be able to be made into kilts?
Solid colors....good.
Camouflage ..... good.
Anything else?

Madras...perhaps patched bleeding madras... changes with every wash.

Paisley! May not be wholly random, but it might present a fun challenge to pleat those sh***y little amoebas!

Argyll pattern. I once tried to make a kilt on the bias as an experiment. The cloth was just way too stretchy on the bias (which I knew it would be, but I still had to be thick-headed and try it for myself). It was really a neat look, but wouldn't work for a kilt b/c of the stretch.

Shibori
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Shibori (絞り染め Shiborizome?) is a Japanese term for several methods of dyeing cloth with a pattern by binding, stitching, folding, twisting, compressing it, or capping. Some of these methods are known in the West as tie-dye.
You could dye some cloth yourself.

How about tie dye? A tie dyed kilt might look pretty awesome, especially in the pleats.

Just gotta say that to me... no.
Seriously, they all bring to mind 18th century street urchin rags to me. There is nothing pleasant or eye catching about any of those, for man, girl, nor beast. Rather horrendous.
Just my opinion.
