My point is simply this: If you wear a kilt with a Confederate uniform, you are in fact NOT displaying your heritage. It wasn't done by your (collective) ancestors or mine. Where does one draw the line?
True, thus I wrote.
I for one would not mix my kilt with my Confederate uniform, but that is me. I would however find sublte ways to honor both Scottish and Confederate heritage.(SCV badge,Family crest pin, etc) I adhere to a strict policy on my Confederate uniform, because lets be honest, more questions follow a person who is dressed head to toe in a "historically accurate" Confederate uniform.
I fully understand what you are saying. All I am trying to say is that there is being "accurate" in uniform, and then there is "hodge-podge/ whatever goes" Whichever way the OP decides to go, is up to the OP.
I know for a fact that Confederate dress codes did NOT address kilts, therefore I do NOT portray kilts and a Confederate Uniform.
We are saying the same thing, but I firmly believe that an individual deserves the right to dress however they wish...Even though it is historically inaccurate.
