First of all I have to say that all three pieces are stunning. Just beautiful.
At first I thought, similar to others here, that it might look better broken by a solid color vest. My eye seems to be drawn down to the hose and legs by the mass of similar colored material. But what crossed my mind was a posting Matt had done some time ago in his blog about a gentleman whom mixed patterns, I believe they were tweeds, to a wonderful effect. I wondered if this would not be a similar case. If you could mix and match to a greater effect. While writing this last paragraph, it crossed my mind that when you wear a tartan vest with a tartan kilt, turn the tartan for the vest on the bias for contrast. Maybe something like that would work here.
Sorry to be long winded here, but I LOVE the look of tweed kilts and plan to get one in the future and want a head start on planning how to wear it.
