You've already received plenty of good advice about what to buy, so I'll go back to the "how." I am also a university student and on a tight budget, which has forced me to go down the path of least cost.

Ebay is probably your best bet, but the trick is find some good quality used items. Anything new and cheap probably isn't that good... buying used Highland attire can be tricky though.

Make sure you ask for actual measurements of a jacket, then compare that against a jacket you already own and fits you well: shoulders seam to seam, armpit to armpit with the jacket laid flat and buttoned closed, shoulder seam to cuff. Don't be in a rush or get into a bidding war. Depending on your size, Argyll jackets come up on Ebay all the time...
