I have no idea where you could get the material from Stateside - get googling!
There is a company making 'workwear' kilts http://www.clothes4work.com/blaklade...FSZWMAod53Hg6A but as they are not sticking to the conventional design I won't be recommending them. (The material they used is not long enough and the front is too short, but I quite like the pockets)

Thank you for the tips and information. I will start Googling to see what is available here in the states.
Thanks and best regards to you.
