I would check out USA Kilts. They have PV kilts that can be made in the Gunn tartan in both their casual and semi traditional lines that fit well within your budget.

Don't forget a sporran! You can go quality there, as they aren't outgrown. I made the mistake of buying cheap sporrans for my lads - they were stiff and didn't look good. If they wear glasses I would suggest a Rob Roy style - more room to put a glasses case in with a wallet.

What type/color do you recommend? No glasses to take into consideration...

Maybe something along these lines, I prefer the Loch Ness one, as for color, hard to go wrong with black!

You have received splendid advice so far. I concur with all that has been said. Since they are still young and growing, I would probably go for the casual kilt from USA Kilts. They are a highly respected vendor on this site - although I do not own one of their kilts ... yet

- and they are known to be very quick! Once you lads settle into their adult bodies, then you can invest in a classic woolen kilt that they will wear with pride for years. I fell in love with the kilt as a youngster, but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that I took the plunge.

I'll second the investigation of the "ex-hire" kilts in Gunn at Kilts4Less. Another thought would be the PV kilts at Heritage of Scotland. I've had one of their Gunn kilts in PV before: it was inexpensive, well built for the price and, with growing boys, has the advantage of straps with more than the usual inch and a half of extra space on the strap. It was more like two and a half. I only got rid of it due to weight loss and it being too large. I think Heritage of Scotland is having a Black Friday discount on right now, as well. Be sure to avoid what they call the 'Gent's' or the 'party' kilt--it's too flimsy and not well built. There, more to think about.
