Well, yes you can. But I am going to caution you. There is an absolute minimum amount of fabric that a loom can weave. It depends on the type of loom.
The set up of a loom is called 'warping" and is a very labor intensive process. Most weaving mills have a minimum amount of fabric that you can order to cover the materials and the labor. This can range from 10-11 meters up to 30-40 meters.
Most weaving mills need to charge about the same at these minimums, regardless of the weight and composition of the finished fabric. The labor to warp a loom is the same regardless.
So please check with your fabric source before going too far down the rabbit hole of a custom run. You may find that the cost of a custom run is a bit more than you expect at first.
A customer planning to outfit his entire family in kilts may be able to justify a thousand dollars for just the fabric, but that may be outside of the budget of someone wanting a shirt or two.
