I've always thought those House of Bruar kilts were very nice looking. Yours is no exception!
Just a couple of points. First, there is nothing "contemporary & non-traditional" about a tweed kilt. This would fit in very well in the traditional kilt category.

Second, you wrote:
Since it's a tweed and not a tartan the bottom is hemmed
Actually, whether the kilt has a hem or not has nothing to do with it being tartan, solid, or otherwise, or whether it is made from worsted or tweed cloth. It all depends upon whether the cloth was woven with a closed selvedge. Most cloth that is woven with kilts in mind will have a closed selvedge, so there will be no hem on the kilt (this would, of course, apply to most all tartan cloth, but I've also been able to source solids and tweeds, etc., with closed selvedges). If the kilt is made from a fabric with an open selvedge, however, a hem will be required, as is the case here.
Just a point of interest! The kilt, as I said before, looks very smashing!
