Just FYI, here is Adron Britt in his cut-and-sewn cadadh (worn here with historical attire, not modern formal dress).

Here he is, wearing a modern kilt this time, with typical knit hose. (This was at the sweltering hot Greenville Highland Games, hence the shaded hat).

Traditionally, of course, all of the diced and tartan hose that were worn with Highland dress were cut and sewn from cloth, not knit. Here's a great example showing white and red dicing.

There is no reason why you couldn't take the young lad on the right, put him in a modern kilt and Prince Charlie jacket (or better yet some form of doublet), and leave the same hose and brogues on. It would be a spendid outfit.
Again, I'll emphasize that the hose would have to be made well to work with modern formal attire.
