    To stretch the money as far as it can go:

    I need, among other things:

    Buzz Kidder Rob Roy from Stillwater, USA Kilts, Buzz Kidder ... A lot of people carry these.

    -Kilt hose in black, and maybe some other colors too

    Hamilton Dry Goods has a ton of socks in various colors, but I'm not sure they have black. It would be worth a call though to see.

    -Possibly some flashes

    Stillwater has the best price on standard flashes I've seen.

    -Possibly a kilt pin or two

    Make the selection from whatever the company you buy everything else from has.
    Now, if you prefer to invest the money in products that will serve you well...

    Forget about the flashes. They are not necessary.

    You could get into a Thorfinn Sporran for a few bucks over the $100 and have a great day sporran that will hold more than your lower back is rated for.

    You can go with a Buzz Kidder sporran and a really great kilt pin from Robin at Kiltgoodies.

    Some nice hose from the Scottish Tartans Museum and a pin and flashes. (This is probably the best "middle of the road" option)

    Spend it all on a nice set of hand knitted hose from one of several vendors here.

    Or, if none of that sounds good, consider a belt / sporran strap set from somewhere

    I'm trying to get the most bang for my buck this time around, but when I have the money to spend on luxuries like that...
