Yes selfcoloured or check tweed kilts were very popular in Victorian/Edwardian times and (based on the photographic evidence) fell out of favour by the 1930s.
But they seem to be making a comeback!
When I started wearing kilts in the 1970s I can't remember ever seeing anyone wearing a selfcoloured tweed kilt. Now I see them fairly often, especially in suits consisting of matching tweed jacket, waistcoat, and kilt.
Now if only the Victorian striped hose would make a comeback
