I too was in your position just a few years back. Here is a list of my recommendations for the entry-level versions of the items you listed above as well as some other things I like to have handy.
Now for my personal suggestions;
I hope this list helps and I wish you well on your journey in beginning Bladesmithing!
You do not need pants. I just use jeans, and the the apron over a jacket. Here is what I use:
Get one of these for sure.

And I use this :http://www.amazon.com/Miller-Genuine-Leather-Indura-Welding/dp/B003IL2RCM/ref=sr_1_10?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1382001569&sr=1-10&keywords=miller+jacket
Seems like even a quality one is still a bargain at 1/10th the price of OP.
