If Dr Jones wore a kilt?

[OC Richard]

Isn't Jones a Welsh name? I know Connery himself is a Scot, but I thought Jones was Welsh.

Yes I think you're right, however the character Henry Walton Jones (Senior) is a Scot, like Connery.

Senior would appear much as he does in your OP, the daper academic. Three-piece tweed kilt suit, starched shirt and bowtie. I imagine he would even use his Irish Tweed Walking hat. Same shoes and a simple brown leather day sporran.

I like that! Three-piece tweed kilt suit, and simple brown leather sporran.

Sort of like this, but with different tie and probably different hose



I wonder if Senior would switch out the bow tie for a long tie? I wonder if people often wore bow ties with kilts in the 1930s?

The real debatable point is what is his kilt made of? Tweed? Family or military tartan?

I like your idea of a full three-piece tweed kilt suit.

Being that his last name is Jones I wonder what tartan he would have worn. I don't think there was such a thing as "Welsh tartans" in the 1930s.

I don't remember his backstory, whether he had military service. It probably would have been an Officer in the Boer War.

(Born 1872, received Doctorate in Mediaeval Literature from Oxford in 1899.)
