Selecting a Day Kilt Jacket, advice.

[CollinMacD]

Greetings all,

I am at the stage where I would like to purchase a very nice day kilt jacket and a Waistcoat to go with my MacDonald Clanranald Ancient kilt. I have looked at all the "traditional" style jackets and have come across this one, from a very reputable Scottish vendor. The Balmoral Tweed Kilt Doublet, which I just love. It has a classic collar and four button fastening with the gauntlet style cuffs and Inverness skirts are all finished with leather covered buttons and flat epaulettes on each shoulder. I know its a bit formal, but I emailed the owner and he stated this style was very popular in the 1920's and is making a comeback, but it really is not a formal dress jacket, but more of a day jacket. I have chosen a non-pattern tweed material, if you go to the site material number 877. My question is, am I being too formal as a day jacket with this, is this considered acceptable? I just want to make sure before I invest a hefty sum to have this made. Thoughts:

Here it is:
