I did a thread last year on vintage check tweed, here it is:
http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...k-tweed-94273/
In that thread there were gents in tartan kilts and check tweed jackets, or check tweed kilts with non-matching jackets, either plain or of a different check tweed.
Here we have complete outfits, kilt, waistcoat, and jacket, made from the same check tweed:
I think this would be called an "over check" in the UK. It's called a "windowpane check" in the USA.
Post-Victorian, but the King in a complete check tweed outfit, though the kilt tweed seems different than that of the jacket & waistcoat.
I also have a large number of photos of men wearing complete outfits of plain tweed.
