Harris Tweed kilt. Formal or not

[LochEck]

Hello all,
I'm having a custom tartan woven and am considering it in the Harris Tweed.
I'm wondering if the Tweed tartan kilt is suitable for formal occasions or more for a casual (country) barn dance.

Thanks,

Kyle

IMHO, what would make a Tweed kilt suitable for formal wear, would be determined by what one wore with it. The use of Harris Tweed for kilts seems to have as much historical justification as wool twill.

I think a tweed kilt might look smashing with a Prince Charlie, but I'd be interested to see what the traditionalists here have to say.

(Was in your Savannah a couple years ago and greatly enjoyed the Scottish pub you have there, as well as the rest of the city! Hope the pub's still there....)

After 11 attempts to register here under different names, we now have enough evidence to confirm that this is again Steven Aikens of Jasper AL. This time using an IP proxy in an attempt to hide his real location.

I have no opinion on the tweed kilt, but we are going to Savannah this fall and I was planning to take my kilt for a side trip to Parris Island. Please share info on this Scottish pub!

Jose, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed my home town and yes Molly's is still here. As is Kevin Barry's Irish pub. We have a few nice welcoming pubs to visit and a LOT of history.
The local Savannah Scottish Games takes place in early May if anyone is nearby at that time. 35 years for the Games here.

LochEck,
As @jhockin said, formality is a function of what is worn with the kilt, not really the kilt itself. See this thread for some fine examples of how a single kilt can be any level of formality from the very casual to the very, very formal.

A kilt woven in tartan tweed , whilst a lovely thing to have, would be considered as rather agricultural for formal events. Perfect for a barn dance, although it could be a tad warm once the action starts!

Kyle, have you had a chance to visit this pub and your cousins there?
