Even though I'm a southerner true-and through, I don't care for anything Confederate for what I feel are obvious reasons (JUST MY OPINION). That said, these guys have a right to sport what ever they want weather it be authentically reconstructed, or wishful thinking dress up. We ALL should know by now that Americans can become fanciful in their highland dress. I for one do everything wrong as far as protocol in Highland Dress, but I enjoy myself and thats the point. If you feel like dressing up half highland/half Confederate, just do it if thats what you want. You surely won't look as absurd as that one pic that was posted here on the forum sometime ago of the gent with 1/4 formal, 1/4 jacobite, 1/4 day and 1/4 brave heart....Now that was even beyond me!
