I'll be wearing a feile beg (short kilt with sash) because that's what I have and cannot afford a great kilt at this time. That aside, what type of shirt/jacket/footwear/weapons/etc would be appropriate? I appreciate the help!
I would reaccess the situation. The kilt was not worn prior to the 16th century. Even if you had a great kilt, that would be an anachronism.

As others have suggested, please read Matt Newsome's article.
