    Yet, the photos of men wearing it I've come across online nearly always show men wearing Civil War era jackets.

    Couldn't one, just one, of the wearers get a sporran of a style that existed in the 19th century?
    Let's suppose you get a sporran style from the period. What are you going to do about the "recent" tartan.

    And even if you get a tartan from the period, a Confederate soldier in a kilt is still anachronistic.

    However, you've given me reason to get an artillery shell jacket... and a big ol' horse hair sporran and wear it during the day.
