Here we have complete outfits, kilt, waistcoat, and jacket, made from the same check tweed:
It would be interesting to have seen this in colour. I'm not convinced that it's not a complete tartan, albeit a small check type pattern, outfit rather than tweed i.e. cloth of a mixtured yarn.

And I do wish he hadn't hidden the sporran with his bonnet!
It appears to be a small seal sporran, the likes of which didn't become popular until after 1900.
My main question is the sort of cantle. I might guess it has an 18th century style cantle, that having a certain ongoing popularity, but who knows.

I like number 3, the first windowpane.
Not a fan of those 'killer bee's' hose. They remind me of old sporting club socks.

I notice that Edward VII is wearing the dreaded flat cap with his kilt. I think it looks good, although some members of the Rabble may disagree with me.

Flat caps worn with the kilt seems to have gone out of fashion in about 1918 and seems to have stayed that way for traditional kilt wearers, particularly in Scotland, to this day. Personally I can see why however others, often new to kilt wearing, appear to disagree.

It looks like a rough/uneven selvedge. This is generally the result of:
- Incorrect tension.
- Weft pulled too tightly and iregularly.
- Poor technique.
