Heck, even some garter ties, decent shoes, a shirt, and a proper tie!
That's more than $1,600!
Wow!
OK, my "ultimate Scotsman". Here we go:
Hand sewn, eight yard, heavyweight kilt £400
Tweed jacket and waistcoat £280
Plain day sporran £50
Stout pair of black brogues £100
Hose and garters £50
Sterling silver kilt pin £50
Shirt £30
Tie £20
Cufflinks £20
That's £1000 worth of kit, all excellent quality (or better than excellent!) and it took five minutes on the Internet to find it. Just a case of knowing what to look for and where to look for it. I expect a goodly few quid could be knocked off that, especially as shoes, shirt, tie and cufflinks may already be owned and as we all know, there are bargains out there to be had! I really didn't try that hard at all.
