I would suggest using Poly/viscose for a childs kilt, as it is machine washable. I have to replace my 5 year old's kilt, and am likely going to order it from MacHummel at http://www.canadiancasualkilts.com/
As for a kid's sporran, the ones at kiltstore at very nice, and I would easily order one of those if I wa sordering other stuff as well. However paying the duty on a kid's sporran alone (as little as it may be) seems a waste to me. I would look at Penny's of Thunderbay as they have cheaper kid's sporrans http://pennys.ca/purses.php ($25 cdn for a child's sporran works for me).

Well my son (age 7) bought a wool kilt. Now we live in the city and we're not allowing him to wear it every day. We also bought a kilt that was too big, by more than an inch long and fit him at the tightest setting. Hoping it will last a few months . Definitely going with Poly-Viscose next time. I like the teflon coating, and no dry cleaning.
I want to make him a sporran to finish the look, but being 7 he doesn't really need pockets for much. Less stones and frogs in the dirty laundry this way. Also I want to get him a Sgian Don't. But haven't found a good supplier.
I commend his grandmother! Well done on her part offering to properly attire the boy.

I fear for the ladies when this wee lad grows up!!! I'm not sure they will be able to handle it!
