    Yes, 9 cm is a bit small for a kilt tartan, but you can go ahead and make it anyway, right? I'd pleat double setts, too.
    Looks like twill to me. It has the diagonal twill lines.

    Unless my memory is faulty (not unlikely!) or the definition of twill has changed, (quite possible) a twill weave is two threads of weft crossing over and under two threads of warp. That is what gives it that distinct diagonal line. So I will second Jakob here. Looks like twill to me too.
