Complete the outfit

[Highland Logan]

I would second the opinions of Jock, Scotus and McMurdo. The Lovat green hose are good, as well as some plain basic red flashes, a plain black military style day sporran sould be a good low price start. And so long as you have no major events in your future, a nice sweater vest over a **** and tie should keep you going. And as for shoes, untill you can afford to spend a lot, just plain black (my choice) or brown dress shoes would finish off the outfit.

For an even more dressed down look, try a cable knit sweater rather than shirt and tie, and swap out the dress shoes for some low-cut hiking shoes.

Just keep in mind that some acces. are not neeed, such as sgian dhub, kilt pin (I never wear one) and the like. And like Jock says, even flashes can be put on the back burner. Once you have just a few of the acces. here you will be ready for most things other than formal, which can wait as budget requires.

I agree with Highland Logan here. My first sporran was this. It's a good quality sporran at a reasonable price. I think Jamie is just trying to scare you away by suggesting a full mask sporran as your first sporran. Just so long as you have a sporran that works, worry about getting different, more expensive ones later on.

Frank our posts cross in the web.

Based on this

Kilt $590
Hose 50
Sporran 60
Flashes 24
Shirt 0 White/color to compliment kilt
Shoes 0 color to match sporran

It looks like it will still cost about $650 for the first outfit.
