I think perhaps you are over thinking things a bit. I see no problem with using Donegal tweed. Some of my Argyll jackets may be Harris tweed, however I don't see the origin of the cloth to be a major concern. Having said that it is nice to get everything from Scotland if possible.

It wasn't so much the origin of the cloth, but the style; Donegal tweed has a very distinctive look which, to those in the know, would be instantly recognisable as something which in this context is out of the norm.

I see what you are saying but still think there should not be an issue with Donegal tweed. I think it should look wonderful.

Sounds like the perfect item to pay tribute to your father's history. After all, wearing the kilt recognizes your Scottish heritage, why not accessorize with items that honor other family backgrounds.

To my mind, tweed is tweed, and tweeds with kilts look marvelous. I have no qualms about this whatsoever.
