A dream realized!

[beloitpiper]

It looks great. A question to you or any other pipe band members: How much does a complete outfit like that cost or do you borrow/rent it from the band you are playing with?

That one is owned by my band, but I'm the only one who wears it. I'm not exactly sure what it costs, but we're supplied by J. Higgins, so here's his prices:

Gillie brogues: $85
Hose: $17.50
Flashes: $9.50
Cross belt: $95
Piper's doublet: $350
Pipers plaid: $295
Military sporran: $250
Balmoral: $40
Kilt pin: $19.50
Brooch: $40
Dirk: $425
Sgian dubh: $40
Belt and buckle: $100
16oz. 8 yard kilt: $525

Total: $2291.50

Bagpipes and reeds: $950

Grand total in that photo: $3151.50


So yeah, I'm wearing almost $3200 worth of stuff there. Kind of intimidating...
