My grand father used to wear a wonderful russet brown Donegal tweed kilt jacket made before I was born, so pre 1940, but I haven't seen many Donegal tweed kilt jackets in the last decade or two.
I do agree that tweed is not the cloth for formal attire and from a personal view I would avoid kilt jackets for day wear made of cloth with a blue hue. Why? It smacks of kilt hire fashions, along with tartan flashes, fly plaids, ruche ties, black bow ties worn during the day and white hose which on the whole, does not impress the eye of the more traditional kilt wearer.
