If you're talking about a Civil War era shelljacket, it's short-waisted enough that there's probably nothing special you need to do, unless you're trying to be historically "period correct" with it. If that's the case then almost everything else has to change to "properly" go with the jacket, from shirt and shoes to the kilt itself: In the mid-1860s the kilt was likely still box-pleated, as knife pleats were just beginning to be accepted as an alternative.
So, if you can, try to be a bit more specific regarding what you're trying to accomplish.

I'm killed in the war or hung during peace."
