Starting from scratch?

[MacCathmhaoil]

The best advice I can give you is to "hurry slowly!" That is to say take your time, be sure about what you want, what the cost is and then choose wisely. I would recommend you buy quality over quantity, buy the best kilt you can afford, a well made wool kilt will last a lifetime and then some. Buy a simple black harness leather sporran that can be worn to all but the most formal events. Well made, ex-hire tweed and barathea jackets, as well as a number of used jackets on eBay, can be found at very reasonable prices if you take your time and look for deals.
The same with the remainder of the accessories, buy one pair of good hose in a colour that compliments the tartan you choose. You don't need a sgain dubh right away and don't waste money on ghillie brogues.
As time goes on you can acquire most other items you'll want or need and replace some items with higher quality ones.
Spend your money once and spend it wisely, buy good quality and it will last and will look good doing it. You'll not be disappointed!
