Help with a casual kilt outfit on a (teenagers) budget

**alabama kiltie** · 18th October 06, 10:00 AM

Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys.. It seems like Stillwater is going to be getting alot of business from me. I'm going to make my next kilt a black stweart tart from them, it seems my family has ties with the stewart clan. I also plan on purchasing thri night stalker sporran and some kilt hose to go with it. I'm pretty sure I can find some leather shoes to do for right now

don't feel bad, dude. i have the same budget issues. as soon as i save up enough $ i'm buying either a Irish National or Black Watch SWK economy with the economy sporran.

...like I say, keep an eye on Stillwater and see what new products they introduce...there's always some suprises and their stuff is as reasonably priced as you're going to get...

Best

You have to ask yourself a question: Do you want to adapt to the tradtional kilt fashion or do you want to adapt the kilt to your sense of style?

For socks...Hamilton Dry goods are GREAT. I have two pairs of their cotton kilt socks and while they're not the thickest things in the world, they do just fine for me and I have pretty darned big calves.

You want a really beefy-looking pair of kilt socks for cheap?

buy these:http://cgi.ebay.com/Scottish-KILT-SO...QQcmdZViewItem

These are also from Hamilton Dry Goods, but they don't advertise them on their web site. I have a pair and I love them. They're cotton, not wool, but they look great and you get a nice, thick roll-over with them.

Stillwaters deal on the basic black leather sporran cannot be beat....end of story.

For a belt, I went to Mervyn's and bought a regular plain black belt in my size. Then I went online at ebay and bought a nice looking celtic buckle. Put those together, and you're stylin'.

Just a hint.... if you wear a tie with your kilt, pick a SOLID color tie in one of the colors in the tartan, and stick with that. The kilt is a pretty "busy"-looking piece of clothing, the last thing you need is a tie that competes with it.
