    No need for a belt - kilts hold themselves up with the straps (or Velcro). For knocking around sporrans are difficult to access and don't carry much. Get a vest for all your stuff.

    If you buy kilt hose, don't scrimp...get the good stuff. If you're not paying $30 or so what you're buying won't last long. And get some ties for the kilt hose...a lovely accessory

    What to Get

    First of all, make the kilt itself complete. Get a sporran, a belt with a buckle and a pin. I think a kilt is incomplete without a belt and I think it does actually help to keep it in place. Although not entirely necessary, it will give you a bit more security as well as give off a great look.

    Then, get hose (diced, tartan or plain), flashes (solid colour or tartan), Ghillie Brogues or Buckle Brogues (strongly suggest Ghillie Brogues) and a sgian dhu.

    And for the upper body, a Ghillie Shirt, with your choice of colour.

    Anything else is entirely up to you, but the stuff stated above, I think is essential. Please remember, this is my opinion and not fact. You wear with it what you want.

    A little tip for you, be careful with diced bonnets, dicing has a stigma around it, might want to research that.
