What else does he need?

Perhaps it is a trick of the camera or the angle the picture was taken at but everything looks to be far to large.
The shirt sleeves seem to be too long. The vest seems to be baggy and too long, the Kilt appears to reach down to mid calf and the hose are falling down around the ankles.

Oh, I hope I'm mistaken about this.

The kilt is sitting at his navel. My rogue has very short legs. I'm working on an X-Kilt for him and he is 20" to under his knee. The vest is a store bought tuxedo vest. From your discussions, I know it needs to be shortened. Also it isn't as fitted as I would like. He has a "bay window" so the front is pulling oddly. The shirt sleeves are about 2" too long. They dont' make 30" sleeves, only 32".
The hose are actually white men's dress socks he bought to wear until he got real socks. They kept falling down all night. His new shoes have ties that X up his legs . They help the socks stay in place but they are not real highland socks. I'm tempted to buy him a proper pair this weekend at the scott shop. Is $15 bucks too much to pay for starter socks?

No, that's pretty low cost actually.

If time isn't a factor, there's an ebay-based seller from the UK that sells kilt hose that would be good for starter socks. The socks aren't as luxurious as some of the more favored brands, but they're decent performers, come in a few colors and are good for daily wear use.

For a real step up, try the Lewis hose avail at the Tartan Museum

Just a couple examples.

I went back to try and find where you describe what style this Kilt is.
I found where you said you bought it as a Traditional.
If so the Top Straps should be cinched into the natural waist just under the ribs.

The Hem should then hit just at the top of the Knee Cap. If not perhaps you could fold up and blind stitch a hem for him.

The Hose worn with a Kilt are like over the knee socks. The flashes you see hanging down from the turned down cuff are not the important part. It is the elastic Garters that are holding the flashes and the hose up that is important.
You can make some Garters with some non-roll waisband elastic and some Velcro. Look in the tutorials section for instructions on making flashes and Garters.
