Younger "kilters" wearing tweed

I'd still say wear the tweed over the black argyll, you can wear a black or brown sporran whichever you have it really should not matter. If you notice in the photo I posted I am wearing a black sporran.

A part of me wants to but I've had negative comments about the tweed that I wouldnt even have expected. Sometimes I feel that so many uneducated people (yes... the type to wear cream hose with any kilt outfit and their kilt covering the whole knee) ought to research what is appropriate, what is traditional and that people wear tweed jacket for more than hunting.
I did have a good reply though "if tweed jackets were only worn for hunting why does every single good kiltmaking store sell them?"
I mean how many % of kilted gentlemen actually go hunting... no wait... how many PEOPLE actually go hunting?
Not enough for kilt shops to stock up on these jackets for.

Well I go hunting(uk terms with horse and hounds) and I go shooting(uk terms with rifle or shotgun) and tweed is not often worn hunting and tartan is very rarely worn shooting.You will notice that the tweed shooting jacket is "cut"(tailored) in a completely different way to a kilt jacket.You have nothing to worry about if you decide to wear your tweed kilt attire,you will "knock 'em dead". Might I just add that there are many here on this websitethat would "kill" for the chance to wear your tweed outfit!
