celtic confederate jackets worm with kilts

[BoldHighlander]

The proper way to wear it with the kilt is not to. My Scots Confederate ancestors wore army-issue trousers with their jackets.

Well said. My Scots ancestors wore their "Army Blue" with no ethnic garb, save copies of Burns that was carried with them.

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 a 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 shell jacket (officers or enlisted pattern).

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

And Reece,
