They look nice, but the chest measurements on them seem to be child-sized. 33" and 35". I don't see them being useful for anything other than a display.

I just saw those and I agree with Tobus. Beautiful garments nonetheless. I'm sure Kinloch Anderson would love to have these (at least the Seaforth doublet) on display in their collection! They are also selling a rather nice sporran molach:

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with wearing items of historical militaria. Others may have differing views.

Michael, you may be right but I would find it difficult wearing this item, or any other, that is clearly identified with a military branch or unit with which I had no association. For me this would be a collectable item rather than a wearable one.
