I am not sure how you feel about ebay but I found this and thought I would pass it on, I know proper hose can get expensive, and this might be an option for you:

As others have said, dont worry about the jacket and tie for now, rather concentrate on the casual look. The kilt looks great btw, and you are displaying the confidence neccessary to pull it off well. Congratulations on the homemade sporran as well, quite ingenious of you.
