Perhaps where you come from but here in the UK tartan hose are not and never have been a conventional choice for daywear. Members of the show business profession are sometimes known for their flamboyant choice of dress. Jackie Stewart was not brought up at a time when kilt-wearing was the norm (or even heard of) in his neck of the woods in the west of Scotland so whom he relied upon for his dress choice is anyone's guess.
