Indeed. I think by now we all know that it is a historical faux pas...

I like this tack you've taken, Richard. I have to admit, the one gentleman wearing the Confederate Memorial tartan & "matching grey" shell jacket looks a tad washed out or bland to my eye. If one feels compelled to wear a kilt with a CSA shell jacket, rather than Argyll jacket, perhaps there are some colours that go better with it than a matching grey?
I'm thinking along the lines of the range of so-called "butternut" greys, a more earthier tone of brownish-greys (or in some cases brown). Or how about a dark charcoal grey? (I mean if one must.)
What do you think?
