really affordable accessories

YES! The tweed jackets will do well, also would like to see all leather sporran straps. Haven't been able to find them on the net and I really don't like the chains.

If you can find a local tack store, there are a lot of leather straps on the market with hardware that are easily converted to sporran straps.

Leather reins - reins are between a half and three quarters of an inch wide usually in good bridle leather, black or dark havana - should make good sporran straps (I recycle reins in this way).

Just want to second the requests for jackets and kilt hose. Would love to get more hose, but at $25 a pop they start to add up, but I hate having to wear the same pairs all the time.

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'd be interested in modified jackets. Also lower cost hose.

Scottish Tartans Museum Giftshop sells all leather sporran belts for $24.95 each. See here:

I'd say day sporrans and jackets.

OK. If anyone wants a modified jacket, tweed or solid, let me know via PM. I'll do a little tour of the used clothing places on the weekend. Just give me your measurements and we'll take it from there.

Hand-knit hose: trying to talk the wife into it. It that doesn't work, there is a woolen mill not far from, who make yarn and blankets. They also have a bunch of older ladies who knit up socks, hats, mitts etc. I'm gonna head over there during my Great Jacket Search and get a few names. Normal socks go for $16 CDN, so I'm hoping to be able to get some good pricing for hose.

Check out their other products page. If only I could talk them into doing some cloth suitable for kilts. Although I already have my source for cloth for the Inverness capes, I'm gonna have to check to see if their stuff could be useable. Considering its weight and the fact its already been shrunk (boiled) it might just be plausible.

Just another question: anyone interested in custom-made balmorals? Technically they might be called Regimental Tams such as you can see here
But, in different colours than khaki? Custom to your measurements, around, say, $50-55USD?
