celtic confederate jackets worm with kilts

[macwilkin]

I don't know Recee's intentions, but there are more than a few compatriots in the SCV who wear the kilt (usually Confederate Memorial tartan, but not always), with shell jacket to the formal ball held at SCV gatherings (these are NOT a reenactment/living history event). If that be the case, then there is nothing wrong with wearing it with CSA uniform jacket.

So let's not get to bent about historical accuracy until we find out the gentleman's intentions.

And Reece,

Terry:

If I gave the impression of "getting bent" about historical accuracy, then my apologies. As a member of the SUV for 15 years, I have seen such attire among our SCV brothers, and now among our own ranks, given our own "Federal Memorial Tartan".

Personally, I've never been much for mixing reenactment kit with my mufti, but that was mostly due to the fact that I wore the former on a regular basis as a living history ranger with NPS, and I didn't want to wear it on my lieu days.
