Looking for prioritization advice.

Here's what I suggest for a basic Highland wardrobe, in priority order:

1. 8yd knife pleat kilt
2. Brown day sporran and strap
3. Lovat blue, lovat green, bottle green, and claret/dark red kilt hose
4. Red flashes
5. Tweed jacket and waistcoat

6. Regulation doublet and waistcoat
7. Evening sporran
8. Argyle or diced hose
9. Bar buckle brogues

Optional:
10. Balmoral bonnet
11. Day waistbelt
12. Day Sgian Dubh
13. Evening Sgian Dubh

The other items you might need are not specific to Highland attire (shirts, ties, fomal shirt, bowtie, full brogue shoes, v-neck sweater, etc.).

I see no reason to purchase more than one of the above (except for the kilt hose), though perhaps a second kilt or kilt jacket/waistcoat might be on your wishlist...

If I were you, I think I would consider "paring down" and "trading up".

Best of luck!
