might work but my husband uses the tan combat boots with his kilt or black ones
May the stars always shine upon you and yours.

We have 2 different friends who bought a $91 kilt from The Frugal Corner (make sure you put the "the" in when googling, or else you get some other website), and they both are really, really nice.  I am thinking of getting one for my husband, so he can switch off his less expensive kilts for faire.

They also have a $61 kilt, 13 oz. instead of 16 oz., and there is a video explaining the difference.  Right now there is free shipping, too.

They have a lot of different tartans, and both men said they were easy to deal with, and they are well satisfied with their purchases.  And having seen them both wearing these kilts, they look great!

Me and Memoree didn't know the first thing about garb other than what you see on the commercials for TRF and a few movies we have seen. Once we decided to go to TRF, Mem knew right away what she wanted to wear. I had an idea what I wanted to wear but wasn't sure. Now, Mem has made four of her own dresses and made and a pirate jacket and two kilts for me. This will be our fourth year at TRF and we have made some really great friends. 

It all depends on what you would like to wear and be comfortable wearing. Do you want to carry a sword or staff? Do you want to be a barbarian, a Scotsman, a Pirate? The possibilities are endless and even then you'll will want to get more garb for another weekend. You have time til TRF so get some ideas and go for it.
We hope to see ya out there..........

Let interject a couple things about the Frugal Corner; I have not ordered a kilt from them, but many folks over at the XMarksthescot.com kilt forum have, sometimes with varying degrees of satisfaction.
Based on the many posts over there about Frugal, I think the general rule seems to be that if they have your desired kilt/tartan/size on hand, things go OK.  But if something needs to be ordered, folks have had a lot of trouble with delivery times and lack of communication, unreturned E-mails, calls etc...   IMO the Stillwater Kilts 'standard' line offers simular off the rack Pakistan made acrylic kilts, maybe not as many tartans, but with great quality first rate speed and customer service.
