Steve is on the right track, you might want to go with the USA Kilts polyviscose, which they do offer in a really nice muted Buchanan

It doesn't have the weight you're looking for, which as I had said will mean wool, if you want Buchanan tartan. (EDIT: see post below)
The fell isn't properly designed or shaped to fit - the stripes shouldn't be on the edge of the pleats like that - it is just done for ease of (poor) construction.

I go walking through the heathland around home and quickly changed my construction method to reverse kingussie, so the pleats point backwards after having to leave the kilt in the grip of some vegetation and extract it later.

When away from home in the campervan I take a long plaid as that seems to be the best thing for bad weather. It cam be wrapped around the waist then around the shoulders or put over the head and makes a big difference diverting both wind and rain. It also stops the pleats blowing about so traps warm air and excludes cold breezes.
