Good kilt hose, even in blends (other than plain wool) for less than $25 a pair. (I've seen them as low as $8-$12, but they're too thin!)

Reasonable daywear sporrans that one can get a hand into that don't look like RenFaire pouches - I like the Freelanders, but they're still a bit too casual, and don't cost more than $100.

With the plethora of good-yet-inexpensive kilts on the market (Stillwater, for example) it's getting harder to find good quality hose and sporrans in the same price ranges.

Jackets. Why do kilt jackets have to cost so much more than regular sportcoats?

I second that.....

I'll confess that a nice charcoal wool jacket for under $250 would be a real treat. I'm also dismayed by the prices of kilt jackets, BUT the garment industry being what it is, I wonder.

At least we know that most Kilt jackets are real quality items.

Still, I love that charcoal tweed jacket and vest from Scottishkilts.net...

The Freelander is worth every penny, believe you me. Best sporran I have ever owned in all my years wearing Highland attire, bar none. I'd rather pay a wee bit for such a quality sporran that will last me a long time anyway.

And as far as "casual" goes, I wear mine frequently with a tweed day jacket and it looks just fine.

Jackets, of course.

But I really do second Caradoc's suggestion for decently priced thick hose.

So, would there be interest in pre-owned jackets, modified into kilt jackets? Tweeds and solids? For under $100. Or the same, modified into PCs or Argyles?

I believe there would be. I own a lovat green tweed argyle and a Prince Charlie, but I'd add another argyle or crail-type for day wear.

A lot of guys have not sprung for jackets. I'm sure they would, at that price.
