About weaving quality wool kilt cloth here in the USA, there isn't a big enough market.
The Kilt Hire industry in Scotland is huge, and there are hundreds of pipe bands in Scotland and Northern Ireland each of which needs dozens of kilts.
I just looked it up, California, with a population of 39.5 million, has three kilt hire places, none of which AFAIK have brick-and-mortar locations. In Glasgow I could walk to three Kilt Hire shops from my accomodation, all of which were bustling with people coming to pick up their hire kilts. (I read that the "Glasgow region" has 1.7 million people.)
