    I considered doing something similar, but due to budget constraints (and an opportunity to buy a set of uilleann pipes), I haven't gotten a Confederate Memorial (yet).
    I was going to go with my old Columbus Depot shell jacket and a Federal bummer.
    Ideally I'd like an early war Richmond Depot jacket trimmed in red with a red kepi, as I shot muzzle loading full-scale artillery for many years. As I'd be wearing it with a kilt, authenticity's already out the window.

    As an aside, daily wear for most seamen; Federal, Confederate, British, or merchant, was probably very similar; cotton duck blouses and trousers home-made on "make and mend" day, with a home-made tarred canvas broad-brimmed hat. Uniforms, if issued at all, would only be worn on Sundays for inspection and church, and quite probably end up in a pawn shop at the earliest opportunity.
