If you are ordering your 8 yard knife pleated kilt through Matt Newsome at the Scottish Tartans Museum (understand he won't be making it for you) I would be very tempted to order a set of Lewis Hose from him as well.

At about $50 they may seem steep, but they are going to be thicker and nicer looking than the standard wool / acrylic blend hose most places have.

It is a subtle thing, but high quality hose make any outfit just a little classier.

I will second Jock's opinion about a tweed jacket. I have a tweed crail style jacket, a PC style formal coat, a black braemar jacket , and two lighter weight "walking jackets. Hands down the tweed crail is worn most and most appropriate for the situations I find myself in.


As for a sporran, before offering any advice I would need to know what (if any) sporrans you have currently own?

Cheers
