Good question! 
To hazard (not even a guess, but a "wonder") I notice that the ones with tashes seem shorter and the longer ones seem tweedish. Wearing what you've got?

Obviously posed/staged/portrait pictures, but what photos from that era weren't.

Other than the kilt and hose (probably) that would be my guess.
Interesting photos. Thanks for posting them OCR.

The second gentleman's jacket and a couple others look like the old sack coat. Just my observation and looking at a few sack jackets out on the net.

 I'm not sure those guys qualify as old, except in the historical sense, LOL. They all appear younger than me. I'm 56, and that isn't old. Or, is it?
Cheers, Mark

Those are Kilt Aprons they are wearing, the sporrans are underneath and that pocket allows you access to the sporran. You see the Germans would be able to see the cantle of a military sporran and aim for it, so these were developed, they also kept the kilts cleaner.
