    My PERSONAL financial concern is this:

    Casual kilt - casual sporran = about $50
    Dressy kilt - dressy sporran = $100 - $200
    Full dress kilt - full dress sporran = about $300

    those prices are give/take depending on what you find out there. I am doing a LOT of research before buying my first. OUCH!!!

    oh, and JamieKerr, I play paintball and have seen the same kind of ploy used in the paintball market as well. sigh.

    Sadly I think it ends up being what discourages a lot of new people from joining yours and my sports, and spending the money on things like highland dress. They buy what they are led to believe is a good product, then find out they wasted their money and are hesitant to do it in the future.

    While bargains are available, I would say that your are a little optimistic, particularly if you expect a jacket etc. for the full dress kilt for $300. If what your hoping to get is all the outfits for the total cost listed it would be possible since certain items can pull double duty.

    I think he's just talking about sporran prices, but I may be mistaken.

    You may be right; I may have misread it. That makes a big difference.
