Safari/Photographer Vest as "Summer Casual" Outerwear?
This would apply mainly to people in the warmer climes and is certainly not THCD; but, aesthetically, what do you think of a vest like this as warm-weather "very casual" outerwear with a kilt?
Some examples:

The length on this kind of thing is typically about what you'd have with a Argyle jacket or a bit less; so considered purely in terms of length it's certainly kilt-worthy.
Last week I picked up one of these, as it's a bit different from the usual with the banded collar and suede trim:

Wore it for the first time yesterday out and about -- with a khaki shirt and jeans -- with my SO. Today, however, I wore it with a kilt, and asked her what she thought. She felt it was perfect for our intentions for the day: A casual brunch at a nearby restaurant, followed by a lakeside hike. She also commented, "It looks good with the kilt: Very casual, not as 'stuffy' as your usual look, but still classy".
Does anyone else wear this sort of thing with the kilt in summertime or otherwise-hot weather?
