Post American Civil War Kilted Regiments Uniform?

[79thReproductions]

My sources are original uniforms. I don't trust art of the 79th too much no matter how respected. I have studied original jackets, glengarries, a sporran, kilt....ect.



Some spacific things they got wrong:

The dicing on the glengarry, though these are pictures of a post war glengarries, it is the same exact shape and design:





The jacket does not have a belt loop on the left hip, no red piping on the edges of the jacket, no skirts or "Vents" at the bottom of the jacket, the cuffs and collar are wrong, there is no pocket watch pocket on the right belly/chest, the Epaulet adapters were not made of material but brass, the chevrons were indeed blue but they were "Arched"



The Epaulet they show seem to be post war. The pre-war ones were normal enlisted shoulder scales with gold fringe for NCOs and red fringe for Pvts

I know its hard to do tartan, but it can be done. Its a large 9" sett. The back of the kilt was to the set, not to the strip.

The 1850 militia sword is right on, the sporran is perfect, the sash, belt, cartridge box and cap pouch, bayonet scabbard....they are all done well.

Flashes are great, but the hose have a red top, they had white turn overs. Shoes are good too
