    All for the price of $150? I think the first place to look would be in a dream... That is a pretty low ball budget for all that gear. I know I couldn't have got all that for that price.. I hope someone here can help you, but ebay would be a good place to start.

    You could either rent a Prince Charlie and accessories... or you could try and pick up an ex-rental tailcoat and get a local tailor to turn it into a prince charlie for you. There are some threads here on how to do that. You'd still need to order the metal buttons.

    Piper hose are a good deal. Scottish Lion has them at $22. Get dark ones for formal wear.

    If he just has regular shoes, I wouldn't bother lacing them around the ankle like ghillie brogues. Just wear them like regular shoes.

    While you're picking up the tailcoat, see if you can get a backless three-button vest from the same place.

    That's about the best I can suggest given the budget in question.
