celtic confederate jackets worm with kilts

So let's not get too bent about historical accuracy until we find out the gentleman's intentions. [/B][/COLOR][/FONT]

I, too, am not bent out of shape. I have 8 direct and 28 collateral ancestors who fought in the Army of Northern Virginia, the direct male ancestor being Jefferson Mansfield of the 26th North Carolina, chronicled as follows in Flags of Civil War North Carolina regarding the first day's battle at Gettysburg:

All to a man were at once up and ready, every officer at his post, Colonel Burgwyn in the center, Lieutenant Colonel Lane on the right, Major Jones on the left. Our gallant standard-bearer, J.B. Mansfield at once stepped to his position four paces to the front and the eight color guards to their proper places. At the command "Forward, march!" all to a man stepped off, apparently as willingly and as proudly as if they were on review.

I am very proud of my ancestors, all of them (okay, maybe not all of them). But we wouldn't encourage anyone to wear any other non-Highland attire with a kilt - even, or perhaps especially, from the Victorian era. In fact we discourage it. Honor your Confederate (or Union) ancestors by wearing your SCV/SUV kit OR by wearing the Confederate (or Federal) Memorial tartan with highland attire. Pick a lane and do it well.
