To tie several elements of this thread back together, a costumer of my acquaintance commented most particularly on the Jeremy Brett portrayal of Holmes that he wore the Inverness and Deerstalker where they were appropriate, in the country.

I do agree with Hector to an extent; Thompson, in "So You've Decided to Wear the Kilt," is most emphatic that the kilt NOT be worn as a costume, a trap it would appear all to easy to fall into.
