Tweed and horn buttons do not lead one to think so.
Since the OP was specifically referencing the jacket, that is what I was referencing. It is presented with an odd mix of accessories but the garment could (and should) be paired with more traditional day wear.
Perhaps it is my decades dressing mannequins for display, but I really just looked at the jacket and vest as the focal points. That being said, I could see this jacket paired with a red tie and a Campbell tartan. (My family. ).
You are absolutely right, Jock. The combination of elements taken as a whole, appears odd.
