Hey, that's a great budget man, and a-ok. We've all got to live within our means.

The nice thing about kilts (and highlander in general) is that the good stuff, made in Scotland, will last a lifetime. I've purchased quite a bit of my highlandwear second-hand, and am very pleased with the quality. Celtic Vintage Finds is a great little Scottish Etsy shop with really awesome prices. They don't have the largest inventory, but if you're patient you'll find some incredible deals. eBay is another great option, specifically eBay.co.uk.

The other thing to keep in mind is that you don't have to buy everything all at once. Buy the best kilt you can afford, and it'll last a long time. You can add on little things like jackets, belts, sporrans over time.
