Well, guess this thread was a dud.
Might as well not waist having looked up all this stuff, though. In Death of an Adept, Adam Sinclair is described as wearing a black silk barathea regulation doublet. It seems like I usually read of barathea being made from very fine wool, so that stands out a little, to me.
He is wearing a Sinclair tartan kilt, and Sinclair tartan hose. It is noted that his shoes have silver buckles, however, it is also noted that they are shinier than the antique buttons of his doublet, as well as, his silver watch chain. Along with that, he wears a white waistcoat, wing collar shirt, and white bow tie. This is for a black tie dance of sorts (189).
What seems to be missing is a description of a sporran. I would think something along the line of a seal skin sporran with silver cantle, or a horse hair sporran with silver cantle would be worn with this outfit.
A gentleman wearing a red and blue Fraser kilt with a blue velvet doublet is briefly described, and Peregrine is wearing his Hunting Fraser tartan kilt and bottle-green Montrose doublet (189-90).

Katherine Kurtz, and Deborah Turner Harris, Death of an Adept (New York: Ace Books/Penguin Putnam, 1996, Ace mass market ed. 1997).
Dagger Magic also has several descriptions of kilt attire.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
