Jacket, waistcoat and kilt in Estate Tweed?

[Nathan]

So I came across 4 yards of double width smart wool tweed at a thrift shop and took it home for $5. I was thinking of either having an 8 yard kilt made from the cloth, or having a jacket, waistcoat and lower yardage kilt made from the cloth but before I go forward, I have a couple of questions for the rabble.

First, this is the cloth:

To my eye, this looks very similar to the tweed featured on the cover of the Scottish Estate Tweeds book. I'm not an estate tweed expert and don't own a copy of the book, but the tweed on the book cover has 7 white blocks and 6 black blocks between the red and my cloth has 8 white 7 black. I don't even know if that distinction is significant.

So, my questions are:

1) Is this indeed an estate tweed and, if so, which one?

2) I know tweed kilts are traditional, but how often does one see a whole outfit jacket waistcoat and kilt done in the same tweed pattern? (I've seen some things at 21st Century kilts that I liked along these lines, but that's not really traditional.)

3) Do you know of anyone who both tailors kilts and makes jackets? I know there are shops who will sell me both, but many tend to job out their work. It would be nice to hand the cloth to one tailor who was making all of the garments as I believe he or she would be economical with the cloth that way.

Your expertise is appreciated.
