My dream kilt is on order. I'm going to make it. The cloth is 13 ounce MacNaughton, weathered, from Fraser and Kirkbright.
But if I ever come into some serious spare cash, I'm going to buy 4 yards, double width of the Capercaillie tartan, 16 ounce, and schmooze way2fractious into making me a kilt, pleated to sett. So, two "dream" kilts.

Tartan: Dove
Weight: 16 oz.
Yardage: Full 9-yard knife pleated (I'm a big guy and need that extra yard)
Customization: pleated to sett, matching fly plaid
Why: Because it's MY tartan, but I'll have to get a custom run of cloth, so it will take a while before I have the money saved up.
I WILL have it one day.

Tartan: X Marks the Scot
Weight: 16 oz.
Yardage: Full 7 1/2 yard military box pleated
Customization: pleated to yellow stripe, matching fly plaid, two straps/buckles, interior lining a striking black and pink fabric, and special custom pink kilt garment bag. Made to the highest standards by a personal friend.
Why: It is a beautiful tartan that honors a diverse group of people that I am proud to be part of. I have more real connection to this tartan then any of the ones that I can state a link by blood to.
Oh, one more thing. I already own it!

Tartan: US Navy
Weight: 16oz or heavier
Yardage: 8yds or more
Customization: No 3rd strap, pleated to the stripe (either white or double red)
Why: I am in the US Navy, why not? 16oz or heavier because I plan to retire in the mountians of BC Canada and need the warmth. Pleating to the stripe because it's a military tartan.

Tartan:MacGregor of Glengyle/Deeside or Islay Woollen Mills' Rob Roy tartan
Weight:19oz
Yardage:8yd
Customization:Single width tartan pleated to sett, fully lined with two straps/buckles and a fly plaid for formal occasions.
Why:I already own a traditional kilt in MacGregor Hunting (actually the correct name is MacGregor of Cardney) in 16oz single width material with two straps/buckles. The heavier material hangs better and wears like iron. I also have a great kilt I wear to faires/games and hiking during the winter months.
