The D.I.Y. section is a frugal mans best friend!!!!! My "formal" jacket was cut down/altered from a blazer I already owned, cost 6 bucks for new buttons and an afternoon of work. Sporran patterns are there in abundance and not that hard to make once you get past the "I can't do anything that nice" stage. Kilt pins, it is amazing what can be found that will work, my Christmas pin was a tree broach borrowed from my wife, old M.O.D. pins (giant safety pins) can be found at a fabric store for $1.99 for 3 of them. What I am saying is an open mind and roving eye can find diamonds in many dustbins if you just start looking for them
