Is Tweed Acceptably Traditional?

[Jock Scot]

Interesting one this. Whilst I have seen many tweed kilts in picture form here and have actually seen some singularly unimpressive, apart from the price, tweed kilts for sale at the House of Bruar, I have only ever seen one tweed kilt actually being worn and that is in a fairly long lifetime. So, depending on how it was constructed, I suppose a tweed kilt could be regarded as traditional.

Interesting Jock. Yes, I have only seen one person (in person) actually wearing a knife pleated, tweed kilt as well - the Macpherson chap in which I had discussed previously. Besides him, the only other people I've seen wearing a tweed kilt, and this has only been through photos, is Matt Newsome and Robert Amyot, granted, they wear their tweed kilts very well!

Someone please feel free to either correct me if I am wrong, or 'add to,' but I believe the tweed kilt become very popular during the nineteenth-century, and especially well into the Victorian era, when the wearing of tweed (mainly for country attire, perhaps?) was generally popular by virtually all British subjects.

Kind regards,
