If Dr Jones wore a kilt?

The thing about the Indiana Jones character is that his look is so iconic is that anybody male or female can put on a brown fedora and a brown leather jacket and it registers with the General Public as "Indiana Jones".

Does it? Not with me, or Mrs Jock.

Mrs Jock's observation when I showed her the picture in this thread was: "Oh thats that James Bond fellow!"

It seems we need to get out more!

At least she's got the right Bond!

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

I guess I've never really paid attention to full tweed "kilt suit" outfits, but one thing that strikes me when I see this photo is that it looks like he's wearing a romper. The lack of bold patterning in the tweed really just makes the kilt and waistcoat blend together like a one-piece skirted overall. I wouldn't have thought that it would, but when I see it, it sure does.

I mean, the real question I have is, why can't I have a picture of Harrison Ford in a kilt? *sigh*

Cute, Steve. And in that vane, this must be Dr. Jones III:I

My personal film tastes showing through here: that whole 'thing' that was Indiana IV I wish would quickly be forgotten and lost to history. Poorly rendered fan service without the charm and wit of the original. And ALIENS? ALIENS?! Severely breaking the divine-driven plots of the originals for trans dimensional aliens! Yes, I did see Indiana IV in theaters when it debuted.
Okay, ranting done.

Strange, it doesn't strike me that way even after you mentioned it.

What does jump out to my eye is what I take to be a hem at the bottom of the kilt. To me it makes the kilt look like a skirt. I've seen other hemmed kilts where the hem was pretty much invisible.

Speaking of actors, the model in that tweed kilt suit photo reminds me of Scottish actor Martin Compston.
