Maybe the bolt of fabric won't allow that as a choice?

Actually, camo fabric is typically printed on the bolt so that manufacturers can lay out pant and jacket pieces along the length of the bolt. A kilt made on the cheap will use fabric ripped along the bolt, which then means that the pattern is sideways to the norm.
Robert's kilt was made by someone who was paying attention to detail. It required the maker to rip the fabric across the bolt, then stitch the pieces together to make a kilt length. That way the pattern is running the right way.
