Help me spend 250 USD

Here is my list for $250.00 USD

1. Stillwater Heavyweight, anywhere from $110.00-$150.00 depending on the tartan

2. Basic Sporran again from Stillwater $16.50-$17.95

3. Belt from Stillwater once more $22.50.

4. Hose W. Brewin and co. have quite a few colours and are affordable at $8.21-$10.27 depending on the choice of colour.

I think I agree with McMurdo mostly. I'd go to Stillwater first. I'll offer that since you live in Texas, you might want to go with the Standard, acryllic rather than heavyweight wool. You may be able to afford two different tartans that way.

You definitely still need the belt and the sporran and sporrant strap. I've been happy so far with my nylon nightstalker.

At least one pair of hose might make you feel more comfortable for the cooler Texas nights.

If you get a lot of wind in your area, you might want to think about a kilt pin, too.

How does the acryllic compare to the PV? I would like to get a wool kilt at some point in time.

PV is the closest thing to wool except for wool. USAKilts uses Marton Mills a high quality PV. It is teflon coated, machine washable (with care) hang to dry. DO NOT DRY CLEAN.
