I understand that this is not a cheap lifestyle, but how much do you think the guy in the first pic is wearing? At least $1,000 USD? Maybe more? Now I understand from reading the forum here that there are ways of getting things cheaper. As a matter of fact, I liked the idea of getting a pair of wing tip shoes and cutting the tongue and every other eyelet out. (Found a pair like that at the PX I'm saving up for) But even then, things aren't cheap. I can't even sew a window drape, let alone my own kilt. I could probably find a tweed jacket at the flea market, but then I'd have to pay someone else to modify it, defeating the purpose. Those were nice pictures and all, but I myself am years away from worrying about whether or not I'm wearing black shoes with a brown sporran, or if I should wear my kilt hose down around my ankles. I apologize if I have offended anyone, but sometimes things here just seem a little out of peoples price range. Sorry to vent.
