    I like that! Three-piece tweed kilt suit, and simple brown leather sporran.

    Sort of like this, but with different tie and probably different hose



    I wonder if Senior would switch out the bow tie for a long tie? I wonder if people often wore bow ties with kilts in the 1930s?



    I like your idea of a full three-piece tweed kilt suit.

    Being that his last name is Jones I wonder what tartan he would have worn. I don't think there was such a thing as "Welsh tartans" in the 1930s.

    I don't remember his backstory, whether he had military service. It probably would have been an Officer in the Boer War.

    (Born 1872, received Doctorate in Mediaeval Literature from Oxford in 1899.)

    Another view of Senior's attire

    The Indiana Jones Wiki only says this about his youth:

    Henry Walton Jones[4] was born in Scotland on December 12 in 1872.[1] Jack Williams was a childhood friend,[5] and when he was five years old Jones would go swimming in the loch. At least once, he ran away from home.[6] He went on to be educated under the tutelage of Helen Margaret Seymour at Oxford University,[7] where he developed friendships with Marcus Brody,[3]Richard Medlicot[8] and Eric Scythe.[9] In addition to Oxford lecturer, Professor Nigel Wolcott was also one of his mentors.[9] Henry graduated from university in 1893, and his relationship with an American woman named Anna led to marriage in 1898.[1]
    Descendant of the Gillises and MacDonalds of North Morar.
