Prom advice

Always lots of bargins on E-bay--keep looking you never know what will turn up

Look around on e-Bay . . . then ask here about the vendors involved. If someone here knows about them, they'll be happy to let you know.

I agree with the comment about renting . . . for a PC outfit, you can expect to pay upwards of $100 USD, or a bit less for an Argyll outfit. If you decide to go the full outfit, consider our XMarks sponsors, e.g., Kilt Store. They, for one, offer a discount to XMarks members. Or, you can rent parts, like the PC and vest (waistcoat) and dress sporran, and buy a kilt.

Good plan to start early!!

And welcome to XMarks from North Texas!!

This is what I've done for my wedding. I do intend to buy the full outfit eventually, but it's just too much money to do all at once. So I'm renting the jacket, vest and shoes. I've bought the kilt and plaid, and will be buying the Sporran when I find one I like.

Get a nice kilt that won't break the bank. Stillwater (wool heavyweight) if the length is right. Skip the fly and hat. Get some nice hose and some regular brogues (outlet mall shoe stores around $50) unless you must have ghillies for twice the price. Then all you need is an Argyle or P.C./vest and you're good to go. Remember to get your extras from SWK while ordering the kilt and save a bundle on shipping if you went to various vendors. O'Neille

I suggest that you go down the hire line unless you think that you will get a lot of wear from your purchases. Of course you could buy the kilt and hire the jacket etc. Bugpiper on Ebay is excellant. Good luck!
