What a strange costume!

I see that sort of thing at US Highland Games all the time, the strangest possible combinations, mixing up both time periods and modes of dress.

There's the mixing of time periods: the Prince Charlie and leather day sporran, both of which as far as I've been able to tell are early 20th century in origin, combined with 18th century style shirt and belt.

And the mixing of various modes of Highland Dress: a Prince Charlie worn with plain leather Day sporran and daywear Lovat Balmoral.

Actually the stuff around here is stanger, for example an 18th century Great Kilt worn with Native American moccasins, t-shirt with a huge clan crest printed on it, a Victorian diced Glengarry, ornate Victorian dirk, 18th century two-handed sword, topped off with the requisite huge sunglasses and mobile phone.

I have seen the same thing Richard-it's disgusting.
