Tweed kilts as more than Day Wear?

[KnittedReenactor]

Very true Jock. Military apples do not equal civilian apples, but they can cross pollinate and influence each other. The first example I can think of is the old Napoleonic Sideburns. A civilian fashion influences military fashion, which turns around and influences civilian fashion.

Back to the last question though, does Hodden Grey meet the definition of tweed? And as civilians, are we applying the tweed standards for formality upon such a kilt or treating it as a normal kilt would?
