Now having got that off my chest, as a theatre costumer (retired) I can assure any soul brave and wasteful enough of money and material (definitely not Scottish) that it would not hang properly. Neck-ties are cut on the bias so they will stretch and stay tied. That is why there was a discussion a while back on the tying of the ribbons in a Balmoral, and the need to stitch it to hold it in place after it is tied was necessary.

Fabric on the bias will stretch. One can make hose of fabric cut on the bias (it was often done that way as faster than knitting before the advent of the powered knitting machines.)

As to weaving (having done some of that also) a pattern on the bias, , while it would be possible to do a diagonal pattern, it would not look quite the same.

However, it is an interesting thought, sort of like the "X Marks" pattern in the pleating of a kilt.
