Thanks for the bits of advice. I have already read up on some articles and had some email correspondence with Matt Newsome, and have already found the Celtic Croft site (both do Box cut - which I like). I even spoke with Linda Clifford when I was attempting to obtain the Tartan I first mentioned.
I think I will just find a tartan I like since the period didn't really have identifying tartans at the time... it was pretty much wear what you could find - then use a pin for my military service vs. a typical kilt pin to bring my personal background into the picture.
Utilizing Matt would be great aside from the poor guy has a 6 month wait list to get something made. But I guess if I got it going soon I would have it for spring... or I may go with Celtic Croft.
The sporran I have some ideas on. I have seen many in casual kilts with fancy, piper sporrans, but will probably opt with a simple leather sporran. The claymore is more of a replica - since it can't be removed from the sheath at the events anyways.
Leaves me with one thing that I'm really unsure on: Hat?
Ryan - where did you find the buckle... may I'm using poor search words.
I did see the Edzell - but the woman thought it was too blue and wouldn't go with the brown 8 button boots i already got. Women
