The finest barathea is a blend of wool and silk, which gives the fabric a sort of "glow" that is lacking in pure wool barathea.

He is wearing a Sinclair tartan kilt, and Sinclair tartan hose. It is noted that his shoes have silver buckles, however, it is also noted that they are shinier than the antique buttons of his doublet, as well as, his silver watch chain. Along with that, he wears a white waistcoat, wing collar shirt, and white bow tie. This is for a black tie dance of sorts (189).

Adam Sinclair is from an old Perthshire family and, as with many of the families from that area, always wear white tie.

Dagger Magic also has several descriptions of kilt attire.
