Howdy,
I have to agree with you. I have spent a few coins on clothes during my 5 years in this sport. BUT, in my opinion, that is a big part of the attraction of CAS. If you look around at thrift stores and Goodwill, you can find good deals on period looking shirts and vests. I picked up a banded collar shirt for a buck and a vest for $3. My wife found a pair of equestrian riding boots at a garage sale for me for $5.
It doesn't take a lot of $$ or effort to get an outfit together that will make you feel like an old time cowboy.
