If you want a proper period shirt (which "jacobite" shirts are not!), these are quite affordable:

The various production dirks (including some early styles) are all available here, at good prices:

Re: jacobite shirt and a dirk
Of course, you can wear what you want, when you want. You will see many "Jacobite" shirts at festivals and many more dirks and sgian dubhs together. But is you are trying to be historically accurate I would go with the above post.
