The first uniform in the Winter of 1859 is the uniform being worn by the guys in the pictures posted... Trews, Bonnets and the scottish/american militia coats. The kilts were an after though bought privatly by members in the sping of 1860.

The tartan was Cameron of Erracht Modern in a 9" "military" set. The kilts were machine sewn by dress makers in NY and pleated to the set, not the line. The tartan trousers were made like common victorian pants with mule ear pockets. The coats were made by Brooks Brothers. Its less of a Scottish uniform and more of an American costume....but thats why its so incredibly interesting!

I think its time to post original kilt and sporran pictures. Ill work on that ith:
