Only problem then becomes the proper jacket, that won't be cheap by any means
    I suppose the appropriate style of jacket for this purpose may be somewhat open to debate? One might attempt to approximate a contemporary fashion to the style of shirt chosen; or, merely adopt one that looks smart with it. ;-)

    You're right, but, many who go this route, well okay me at least, if they are going this way tend to go all the way! Going Eclectic doesn't feed that monkey on your back. It is an expensive monkey too. For me, it was as much my appearance to others, lets face most don't know, but my desire to be accurate.

    There was a post from a gentlemean looking for Rev war period pipers. He wanted someone, "volunteers", with the full kit, right down to period pipes, can you imgine that price tag!

    if you want a modern kilt shirt, try Freedom Kilts! I have one of their long tailed modern kilt shirts, and it was custom made to my specs. It's AWESOME!

    I reviewed it here, take a look.

    I don't see where Freedom Kilts lists a price or availability for such shirts on their website...
